We stick to the defaults typically. Shouldn't these defaults match the
most common use cases (i.e. to keep the maintenance costs of this
service low)?

Which option must be set in order to
let /usr/lib/perfsonar/bin/generate_configuration generate a
"correct" /etc/perfsonar/regulartesting.conf with, say, 6 hours
interval. Using the defaults it ends up like this:

<test>
[...]
   added_by_mesh   1
   description   BWCTL Test Between WLCG Bandwidth Hosts
    <schedule>
        type   regular_intervals
        interval   2419200
    </schedule>
</test>

I guess there is a bug in the logic here. After manually changing the
specs of a configuration created by meshconfig the test shows up twice
(one with the modified settings, one with the "default" settings).

Is the bug tracker on Github
( https://github.com/perfsonar/project/issues ) the correct place to
report such issues?

Cheers,
Andreas
