perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi George,

Also, on the traceroute issue, that is expected at this point. There is no separate package for the traceroute viewer at this time, it is installed as part of the perl-perfSONAR_PS-Toolkit RPM. You can try you hand at installing it from source, but you will have to move over some of the perfSOANR libraries by hand an it can be a bit painful. Source is here: https://github.com/dwcarder/psTracerouteViewer. We are looking at creating an RPM for this in the future.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi George,

Displaying the MU and capacity requires registration in the lookup service. I don’t remember all the names of your servers but i think i can only find one in the lookup service. If I recall correctly, I think some of your servers have limited access to outside networks, so it might just be that they can’t register.

Thanks,

Andy

Brian,

I did a yum update on my standalone, centralized MA/maddash server after we talked on Wednesday.  Here’s a list of the pS packages that were updated:

Apr 29 08:55:18 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-serviceTest-3.4.2-4.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:31 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-Nagios-3.4.2-3.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:31 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-MeshConfig-Shared-3.4.2-6.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:54 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-MeshConfig-GUIAgent-3.4.2-6.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:54 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-MeshConfig-JSONBuilder-3.4.2-6.pSPS.noarch

The last update to the maddash server was one I did in March when I upgraded from version 1.2.1 to 1.2.4 of maddash-server.

My graphs still display Capacity and MTU unknown and when I hit the traceroute link, I get a Internal Server Error message.  This probably because I built the MA last Autumn from these directions: http://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_central_MA.html and didn’t get all the packages I need to fully integrate the dashboard with the MA installation.

Thanks,

George

Subject: [perfsonar-user] perfSONAR dashboards might need update

 

To Maddash admins:

You might want to run a yum update on your dashboard hosts to make sure you have the latest perfSONAR RPMs. 

We've fixed a couple minor bugs in the perfSOMAR packages that Maddash uses. For example, if your plots are missing the MTU size, a yum update will fix this.
