perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

MaDDash does not initiate any tests and thus there will be no API calls to do so within MaDDash. MaDDash simply asks the measurement archives if they have any test data.

What you want is the pScheduler API which is introduced in 4.0. Documentation for that interface is under development, so probably your best bet is to wait for that. 

Thanks,

Andy

Dear perfSONAR users,

I am looking at the website of MaDDash http://software.es.net/maddash/, and I see some REST APIs  including 

• Retrieving the list of dashboards
• Retrieving the list of grids
• Retrieving a single grid
• Retrieving a row
• Retrieving a cell
• Retrieving a single check
• Rescheduling checks
• Retrieving a list of events
• Retrieving a single event
• Creating an Event
• Deleting an Event 

I only see "Rescheduling checks, Creating an Event and Deleting an Event " are using POST method. Suppose I want to start a new throughput test between two perfSONAR nodes, is there any existed API I can use  to do this? Or, I have to login to a perfSONAR node and start a test?

Thank you very much,

Xiaoban
