perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Sowmya Balasubramanian <>]

Hi Trey,

Was the test working at some point? 

Can you try running a test from the command line from your host to the other host and send the results?

There is a possibility that the firewall rules or BWCTL limits on the other side is preventing your host from running the test.

Thanks,

Sowmya

I just discovered my bandwidth testing host is failing to run some of the configured tests.  I'm seeing errors like this in /var/log/perfsonar/regular_testing.log

Attached is my regular_testing.log

The tests I was hoping to look at were against psonar3.fnal.gov.  I've noticed other tests are missing data too like tests to tx-learn.net hosts.  Tests to psnr-bw01.slac.stanford.edu is one that shows data but with lots of "red dots" at the top of the graphs.

I saw some mention of NTP problems in the logs so I forced NTP server updates via interface hoping to get closer NTP servers used.

Let me know what other information would be useful to debug this.
