perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

As a root or sudo user run the following to get the api_key:

cd /usr/lib/esmond/

source /opt/rh/python27/enable

. bin/activate

python esmond/manage.py add_api_key_user perfsonar

You need to be in the python 2.7 environment to add the API key in CentOS 6 which is what the first set of commands do.

Hope that helps,

Andy

I have a RHEL 6.8 x86_64 box which is the only perfSONAR node I have which is not a Toolkit install.  The sysadmin installed many perfSONAR packages standalone, but I was having trouble getting any results from it on the maddash server. I installed the toolkit rpms on top of the other installation.

I think the issue is with esmond. I tried to manually add an api key and it gives me the following error:

$ python esmond/manage.py add_api_key_user perfsonar
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "esmond/manage.py", line 2, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

In any case, I think I need an api key to place into regulartesting.conf.

Thanks for your advice.
