hey jpr,
I am seeing the same issue on a BW node that I maintain, but it affects multiple tests. The error condition hangs around for several days, clears itself up for a day or two, and then reverts back to the error condition with the cycle continuing.   3.4.2 didn't solve this for me either, and my duty cycle is very low, (3%).  If anyone has a recommendation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Below is an example:

This results in missing data (red dots) in the various graphs with labels on the order of:

 Hi Folks,

I had hoped the 3.4.2 release would include a fix for the parsing bug
that affects the capture of results from tests with Internet2 and other
bwctl nodes running older iperf releases.  This affects presentation of
bi-directional throughput in the the Throughput/Latency Graphs:

https://code.google.com/p/perfsonar-ps/issues/detail?id=1021

The regular_testing.log messages suggest the code now recognizes the
error but the outcome is still that the collected data doesn't get
inserted into the database:

2015/03/25 10:29:57 (2320) ERROR> MeasurementArchiveChild.pm:125

Any thoughts on how best to resolve this?

Hey John-Paul,

The “local” side, unfortunately, does not provide the data we need, because the sending side of iperf can be nearly worthless on a lossy network, with a large window size. I’m guessing there are few bwctl 1.4 instances out there, but it’d probably be best to modify the RegularTesting parsing to handle the old bwctl instances.

Cheers,
Aaron

It may also be possible to change the perfSONAR parsers to request and
process the "local" side of the bwctl result since it runs the newer
tools that will produce the complete header.

All automated tests defined via the web appear to have localhost as one
end of the connection.  If the bwctl command that negotiates the
scheduled tests had the -x option added it would record data from both
the sending and receiving bwcltd it contacts.  The localhost bwctld will
produce the correct header.  If the Bwctl/iperf parser code were to read
the appropriate output file it would be ensured data in a format that
can be parsed.

The other option would be to do something fancier for iperf result
parsing to support older end points.

Howdy John-Paul;

So I believe there are two issues here.  I can offer the technical solution, which may be superseded by Layer8/9 issues that others (from Internet2 or the Global NOC) will need to speak to:

- The BWCTL server software on machine in question (bwctl.atla.net.internet2.edu) is old, and not behaving in a way consistent with what the new BWCTL on version 3.4 of perfSONAR would expect.  I can’t say for certain, but I would guess its 1.4.x vs 1.5.y.

- The BWCTL server is not a part of the new list related to the Internet2 Performance Service that support ad-hoc testing (http://www.internet2.edu/products-services/performance-analytics/performance-assurance-service/#features-adhoc).  This appears to be an orphaned server that needs some TLC, or to be put out of its misery.

I would suggest maybe trying one of the other ad-hoc servers in the meantime, or you can follow the procedure to be granted a golden ticket to test to the other resources that are not public.

Hope this helps;

Thanks;

I've traced this down to a problem resulting from the bwctld on bwctl.atla.net.internet2.edu not producing the correct metadata in its output to clients.

The output header should look something like this:

bwctl: start_endpoint: 3624691387.449529
bwctl: run_endpoint: receiver: 64.57.16.66
bwctl: run_endpoint: sender: 138.26.220.65
bwctl: exec_line: iperf -c 64.57.16.66 -B 138.26.220.65 -f b -P 1 -m -p 5014 -t 20 -i 1.000000
bwctl: run_tool: tester: iperf
bwctl: run_tool: receiver: 64.57.16.66
bwctl: run_tool: sender: 138.26.220.65
bwctl: start_tool: 3624691432.432794

But the problematic node is only producing a metadata header that contains:

bwctl: exec_line: /usr/bin/iperf -B 64.57.16.66 -s -f b -P 1 -m -p 5014 -t 20 -i 1
bwctl: start_tool: 3624691430.401291

This causes the perfSONAR scripts to miss-parse the results, failing on the $tool assignment because it doesn't match "bwctl: exec_line: iperf".  I changed that pattern to accept full paths and then the basic result parse succeeds but, due to missing source data, cannot be recorded in the tests database.

I'm not sure why this node is behaving this way.

You can reproduce this behavior by running the following tests.  Both the send and recv files should include the complete header, however, when bwctl.atla.net.internet2.edu returns data it produces an incomplete header which then causes the failed parsing by perfSONAR.

Test with bwctl.atla as receiver produces the borked header:

/usr/bin/bwctl -s perfsonar-10g-scidmz.uabgrid.uab.edu -c bwctl.atla.net.internet2.edu -i 1 --parsable -4 -T iperf  -p -d ./ -v -P 1 -t 20 -x

$ head 15567942049171924331.recv.bw
bwctl: exec_line: /usr/bin/iperf -B 64.57.16.66 -s -f b -P 1 -m -p 5015 -t 20 -i 1

Tests with working node as receiver produces a legit header:

I've contacted the maintainers of the failed node but thought the debug info might help others determine if their problematic one-way target nodes are behaving similarly.

While the cause of the problem does seem to be a failure to parse the iperf output, the source of the problem doesn't appear to be Bwctl.pm but rather the bwctl process itself.

When I run bwctl against a known working end point:

/usr/bin/bwctl -c 56m-ps.sox.net -i 1 --parsable -4 -T iperf  -p -d ./soxtest/ -v -P 1 -t 20 -I 300

The results file created contains the "locally" gather bwctl results which includes the correctly parsable header that       describes the metadata for the test:

$ cat soxtest/15567672641991999488.recv.bw
bwctl: start_endpoint: 3624631187.210311

However, when I run an identical test against the problematic endpoint:

/usr/bin/bwctl -c 64.57.16.66 -T iperf -4 -I 900 -p -d i2atla-iperfonly -v -P 1 -t 20 -i 1 --parsable

The bwctl result file contains the "remotely" gather results which has insufficient metadata for correct parsing:

$ cat i2atla-iperfonly/15567745226308775992.recv.bw
bwctl: exec_line: /usr/bin/iperf -B 64.57.16.66 -s -f b -P 1 -m -p 5009 -t 20 -i 1

------------------------------------------------------------

It's actually the first line with the /usr/bin/iperf path that causes the unparsable errors reported earlier in Bwctl.pm (below).  I changed the pattern match thinking this was the bug but although the data is parsed it then failes to be added to the cassandra data base because of a missing source address (since there isn't one on the iperf server side).  stracing the bwctl process shows that the parsable local data is recieved but is not written to the test output file.

It's not clear why bwctl would have this odd behavior for just this one host.   It seems almost as if the internal stdout/stderr channels are somehow crossed.  If bwctl wrote the correct, locally generated output it would have the necessary metadata header and would parse with the existing Bwctl.pm code.

Any thoughts on what's going on here?

Hi Folks,

From what I can tell the problem my tests are running into has to do with having iperf results instead of iperf3 results. The host that is failing negotiates tests with iperf.  All my other test endpoints negotiate tests with iperf3.

It appears there is some sort of parsing error in the parse_bwctl_output() routine.   The error in the regular_testing.log relates to the $tool variable not being set which eventually bubbles up to full parsing error (see the log below in my previous email).

The code segment where $tool would be set looks like this:

       elsif ($line =~ /bwctl: exec_line: iperf/) {
           $results{tool} = "iperf";
       }
       elsif ($line =~ /bwctl: exec_line: nuttcp/) {
           $results{tool} = "nuttcp";
       }
       elsif ($line =~ /bwctl: run_tool: tester: (.*)/) {
           $results{tool} = $1;

It appears when the test is an "iperf" test it should parse the line "bwctl: exec_line: iperf".  For whatever reason the value for tool doesn't get set and that triggers the subsequent warnings and eventual parse failure.

I suspect this is why the src-to-dst test is failing and why I'm not seeing the results for these tests in my graphs.

I'm seeing something similar with one of my tests.  It works bi-directionally on the command line but the automated web test is no longer working in the local-to-remote direction.

I've poked around the regular testing log some and suspect there may be some empty data value borking the test results by causing perl to barf on the test results.

Here is the log for the failed local-to-remote part of the tests.  Note that the test seems to complete given that the gap in the log entry time matches the reported wait time:

This gives me some confidence that there is a problem with the local-to-remote.

Hi,

I set several tests on my host, but some tests only work unidirectionally. For throughput

This problem is a little complicate. Here is my address: http://115.25.138.244/serviceTest/psGraph.cgi

The throughput test works on command line but fails on web interface.
The one-way delay test doesn’t work even on command line; I think maybe the problem has something to do with the port, but I have no idea where to start with.
The ping delay test never work.

Attachment is regular_testing.log. Here is more details:

1. For throughput test:
a) 115.25.138.244(my host) to 128.104.100.67(komatsu) stops working since I update from v3.3.2 to 3.4 yesterday. but the command line still works.

b) 2001:da8:203:d406:16da:e9ff:fef9:b68f(my host) to 2607:f388:107c:501:202:c9ff:fee8:85a0(komatsu) never works, but the command line still works, as above.

c) 159.226.15.235(cnic) to 115.25.138.244(my host) stops working since I update from v3.3.2 to 3.4 yesterday. so does the command line.
[zwzhang@jsi-inspur02 perfsonar]$ bwctl -s 159.226.15.235
bwctl: Using tool: iperf
bwctl: 20 seconds until test results available

RECEIVER START

bwctl: remote peer cancelled test

RECEIVER END
d) 2400:dd01:1011:1:92b1:1cff:fe0c:7c0a(cnic) to 2001:da8:203:d406:16da:e9ff:fef9:b68f(my host) stops working since I update from v3.3.2 to 3.4 yesterday. so does the command line, as above.

e) 115.25.138.244 to 137.110.119.113 works well bidirectionally.

2. For one-way latency

a) 128.104.100.67(komatsu) to 115.25.138.244(my host) doesn’t work, so does the command line.

b)159.226.15.235(cnic) to 115.25.138.244(my host) doesn’t work , so does the command line.

c) 137.110.119.113(murpa) doesn’t work bidirectionally.

d) Other ipv6 addresses work well.

3. All ping latency doesn’t work.

Any insights appreciated.

Thanks,
Jarvis
