perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Christopher J. Tengi" <>]

Following up from my last question to the list, I have built a mesh for a few 
internal end-points and a bunch of external end-points.  This new mesh has 2 
nodes in common with the Princeton-only mesh that was already up and running. 
 Because the new mesh is intended for an external-to-Princeton audience, the 
“description” in the <host> block for these 2 nodes has a value other than 
the unqualified hostname that we use for the Princeton-only mesh.

The internal mesh results in the “Princeton” dashboard and the external mesh 
results in the “IvyPlus” dashboard.  After I brought up the 2nd mesh and 
dashboard, I was surprised to see that the dashboard names of the 2 nodes in 
common were now the values from the external mesh.  For the internal mesh, 
they are defined as perfsonar-87prospect and perfsonar-hpcrc, but for the 
external mesh they are “Princeton Net Core” and “Princeton HPCRC,” 
respectively.

Should MaDDash keep the namespaces for the Dashboards separate, or does the 
information in the last <mesh> block in the GUI configuration file win?  The 
latter is what I’m seeing here.

Thanks,
