perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Andrew Lake" <>]

Hi,

Those will not be in 3.5 unfortunately. They will be in the next version of MaDDash which is likely Q4 of this year at the soonest. A MaDDash 2.0 planing doc is on the 3.5 page, but in terms of he final timeline it won’t be out until later this year since it’s release cycle isn’t necessarily the same as the rest of the toolkit. Also, for future reference, we no longer use google code, and our wiki is now at https://github.com/perfsonar/project/wiki.It is one of the most requested features, we just want to make sure we do it right when we do it. In particular there is already some effort underway to identify common patterns in the dashboards and alert on those as opposed to flooding administrators with alerts. Hope that answers your questions.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Jason, Andy

We would very much like the ability to have emails sent to us for the various MaDDash thresholds. Our current plan is doing some kind of Nagios integration. I’ve found some information on this here:
https://code.google.com/p/perfsonar-ps/wiki/NagiosDevelopment
and
https://github.com/perfsonar/nagios

While looking around though, I came across the 3.5 roadmap and also
https://code.google.com/p/perfsonar-ps/wiki/LargeScaleDeploymentFeatures#Notifications_/_Alarms

which is exactly what we’re looking for :)

So my questions:
While we are eagerly waiting for this (in 3.5 hopefully), should we follow the first two links and effectively get our Nagios system to generate the email alerts based on what it reads from our central MA? Is this the best approach and are there any snags we should know about?

Thanks very much,

Roderick
