Hi Robert,

Could you send me a link to the generated JSON (or attach it into a file if its firewalled off)? It looks like in theory it should be able to find an MA as you said.

Thanks,

Andy

Hello!

I'm trying to use a dynamic mesh to run tests on and update maddash to display with no luck so far.  Any help is appreciated.

I'm getting the below error when I try to run ( /opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/bin/generate_gui_configuration ) to update maddash.  When I run generate_configuration I don't notice the tests being created.  My hunch is it's the lookup_hosts file not providing the correct measurement archive, but I think I've asked all the hosts to point to perfsonar1-research-lan.colostate.edu instead of using their local MAs(which would be cool to do as well).

perfsonar1.research-lan.colostate.edu/dyn.json - dynamic tests

perfsonar1.research-lan.colostate.edu/auto.json - list of hosts
