perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Andrew Lake" <>]

Hi Robert,

You can create the file anywhere. Once you have created it, you convert ti to JSON and publish it on a web server. From there you can include a URL in agent_configuration.conf. The basic process is on the Publishing a Central Configuration File and Reading a Central Configuration File pages, respectively. 

Hope that helps,

Andy

To follow up on this:

I've got the dynamic .json being published - so now I need to define the tests.  But the doccumentation doesn't specify where to create the test.  A new file anywhere?  And from there do how do I include it into the agent_configuration.conf?

Thank you in advance,

Robert,

It looks like you're trying to use the build_json script on that config file - it should be the "lookup_hosts" script instead. That's listed in the http://docs.perfsonar.net/3.5rc2/multi_mesh_autoconfig.html but pretty easy to miss as a detail.

Hello!

I'm trying to test the Dynamic Mesh Setup in Mad Dash 3.5 RC2 and I'm having a little trouble.  It's my intention to leverage the public lookup service and key off the registered servers there for my local internet group.  What should I be referencing to create a valid mesh?  Thank you in advance,

Robert

When I try to make the .json I get the following on the CLI:

/opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/bin/build_json -o /var/www/html/auto.json auto.conf
