perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Winnie Lacesso <>]

Happy Friday!

The Network people opened Institute firewall ports to our LAT & BW
perfsonar boxen yesterday, & now in monitoring they are mostly green 
except a few. But those few should be green, so here is to ask for help to
debug why they are still FAIL.

I am watching 3 pages:

https://maddash.aglt2.org/WLCGperfSONAR/check_mk/index.py?start_url=%2FWLCGperfSONAR%2Fcheck_mk%2Fview.py%3Fview_name%3Dhosts%26host%3Dbris.ac.uk

https://pfomd.grid.iu.edu/WLCGperfSONAR/check_mk/index.py?start_url=%2FWLCGperfSONAR%2Fcheck_mk%2Fview.py%3Fview_name%3Dhosts%26host%3Dbris.ac.uk

https://perfsonar-itb.grid.iu.edu/WLCGperfSONAR/check_mk/index.py?start_url=%2FWLCGperfSONAR%2Fcheck_mk%2Fview.py%3Fview_name%3Dhosts%26host%3Dbris.ac.uk

The latter 2 have a "rerun test" glyph that I as Guest can execute. I do, but
no change.

In all 3 monitoring, for both LAT & BW this is red:

perfSONAR Homepage CRITICAL HTTP/HTTPS Connection failure

Everything checked here shows this should succeed, can someone help debug? 
I can ssh to a remote site & from there both telnet to ports 80 & 443 for 
both our LAT & BW, & get to the http & https page for each (via lynx). So 
why can't the 3 monitoring sites connect to http/https?


The LAT box has this red:

CRIT perfSONAR OWAMP One-Way Ping Service CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10
seconds

The BW box has this red:

perfSONAR BWCTL Bandwidth Test Controller CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10
seconds

In both cases I beg for help to debug why the tests are FAIL. Both LAT & 
BW were rebooted yesterday to ensure all processes were restarted cleanly.

Grateful for advice!!
