perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi George,

A no_agent host means that it cannot initiate tests or register any data to 
an MA. All it should do it make both the top and the bottom of the box use 
the MA set for the host that has the agent. If you click on the orange box, 
on the page that loads the details of the check you should see a vertical tab 
labelled "Statistics". Click on that to expand it and verify it has the 
correct MA set for the maUrl displayed. 

Thanks,
Andy
