perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Hi Paul,

If you send me the ip of the host, I can check with ESnet security group to see if the ip got blocked by accident.

Thanks,

Sowmya

Good question; I should have checked myself.  There does seem to be a problem retrieving the "activehosts.json" file:

Our ScienceDMZ is heavily locked down by ACLs.  That address pings fine but perhaps the port is being blocked.  I will follow up with our CI engineer.  Did something change with a recent update with respect to this?  I was able to configure tests several months ago.

Thanks,
Paul.
