perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

Have the checks actually run again? You need to give the checks a chance to run again, its not going to be instant. If you have setup the administrative interface, you can reschedule the checks to run at the current time, which will run them as soon as possible. 

Thanks,

Andy

Actually would like to double check to make sure I do not need to make those changes anywhere else as well? 

I have made the changes to /etc/maddash/maddash-server/maddash.yaml , restarted the maddash service, and maddash is still erroring out with /usr/lib/....  Restarted the server itself. Same deal. 

Please let me know. 

Thanks,

Colin

Andy, 

Thank you for the info. I am running x86_64, and will make the changes.  

Also, I did not come across this known issue within the GitHub for MaDDash.   I may have missed it, but it may need to be added. 

Thanks,

Colin

Hi,

You just need the perfsonar nagios plugins (which are just perl scripts that output results in the nagios format) and not a full nagios install. They should have been installed if you installed the “maddash” package. If you are running on x86_64, nagios plugins usually end-up in /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/ instead of /usr/lib. You may just need to do a search and replace of /usr/lib with /usr/lib64 that in your /etc/maddash/maddash-server/maddash.yaml file. The RPM is supposed to do that for you, there was a known issue which has been fixed, but not sure its in the public version yet. The search and replace should get you back on track though. 

Thanks,

Andy

I have recently integrated perfSonar within my network architecture and am
looking to also integrate MaDDash for easy access to the data. I have gone
through most of the documentation at http://software.es.net/maddash/ and have
defined a list of hosts within 'groups'. When I look at the WebUI, I am given
an error for every node:

'Exception executing command: Cannot run program
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_throughput.pl": error=2, No such file or
directory'

My question is, do I need to have Nagios installed and working on the server
as well? The documentation was not clear on that.
