perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

From what I can see, you meshconfig-agent.conf file looks good.  I’m guessing there is a missing parameter in the JSON file that describe your mesh.  Can you check that this file has an existing top-level ‘description’ entry?  Can you maybe attach your Dashboard.json file here?

You don’t need to delete the measurements scheduled through the toolkit UI, they can co-exist with the mesh.

 yes these nodes are scheduling measurements through the toolkit UI.

Is it best to delete those and then try again?

Thanks,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Can you share with us the full /etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent.conf file?

And, another question, on this node are you also scheduling measurements through the toolkit UI?

Thanks,

Antoine.

Hi Antoine,

Could it be that these NUCs have been running regular testing between each other for a while and not to use the central configuration? Because when i change one of the regulartesting.conf and comment out configuration thats already in there and save and then after a few minutes go back in to that file it has reverted back to previous configuration.

Also when i run the validate configuration command it gives this message:

<pastedImage.png>

Although i have already specified this url in the mesh config file, unless it needs to specified elsewhere aswell?

Thanks,

Andreas

Hi Antoine,

I have added this config at the end of the mesh config file:

<pastedImage.png>

Do i need to add anything else to that file?

I'm afraid our  maddash is not public. 

Thanks,

Hello Andreas,

Have you configured the /etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent.conf file?  How have you defined your mesh?

Is the mesh JSON file of the MaDDash you’re trying to participate to public?  If yes, maybe you can share with us the URL so that we can check it?

Thanks,
