perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Ryan Hitch <>]

I am getting the following error when I try to generate a mesh json 
(PerfSonar 3.5 with latest updates):

My config is based off of the sample meshconfig here: 
http://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_mesh_autoconfig.html

[user@maddash-222
 etc]# /opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/bin/build_json -o 
/var/www/html/dynamicmesh.json dynamicmesh.conf
2016/02/10 19:54:23 (22589) ERROR> Utils.pm:80 
perfSONAR_PS::MeshConfig::Utils::load_mesh - Invalid mesh configuration: 
Unknown attribute: netmask at 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/bin/../lib/perfSONAR_PS/MeshConfig/Config/Base.pm
 line 172.
Resulting mesh is invalid: Invalid mesh configuration: Unknown attribute: 
netmask at 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/bin/../lib/perfSONAR_PS/MeshConfig/Config/Base.pm
 line 172.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Ryan
