perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Oleg Moiseichuk <>]

Hello!

We are planning to deploy perfSONAR within the bounds of EaPConnect 
project [https://www.eapconnect.eu/Pages/Home.aspx]
I'm a responsible person in Belarusian network and my task is to examine 
and set up perfSONAR in our network and later help our partners with its 
deployment in their respective networks.

I downloaded CentOS 32-bit full distribution v3.5 and installed it in 
VirtualBox machine, set up the network and tried to create several 
simple tests to check whether everything is working fine.

Test creation process is self-explanatory, I made a single test to ping 
a gateway router every 30 seconds. I waited long enough, but "Test 
Results" section of the perfSONAR Toolkit remained empty, showing (No 
Results).
I checked the documentation, reduced packets size, but Test Results 
section was still empty.
Later I added several more nodes to ping, taken from community host 
list, but they aren't shown also.

The single test result which I managed to achieve is One-Way Delay Test, 
but it also works only for one node, the other node existing in this 
test group is absent on the result page.

Data is collected - when I perform query of JSON files, they show some 
data values, and they grow as the time passes. So the problem may be 
related to the data retrieving or visualization - I'm not competent in 
perfSONAR enough.

P.S. Later my colleague with Windows 7 installed another perfSONAR on 
vmware machine (64-bit, net installer). The problem is the same - no 
test results are shown.

Also we both noticed that regular_testing service crashes sometimes.

Would you help me to debug this issue and deploy this tool correctly?
