perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Sowmya Balasubramanian <>]

Hi,

Can you send the log files found under /var/log/perfsonar?

Also, can you try running the tests from the command line?

For example: 

bwping -s send_host -c receive_host

bwping -T owamp -s send_host-c receive_host -N 1000 -i .01

Thanks,

Sowmya

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?
