perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Aaron Brown <>]

Hey Winnie,

Are the lots of files under a “failed” directory? If so, could you send us 
the /var/log/perfsonar/regular_testing.log?

As to the files themselves, you can safely axe them. Anything that’s in the 
“failed” section can probably be removed, no matter the age.

Cheers,
Aaron
