Hi,

You can do this by editing /etc/perfsonar/regulartesting.conf by hand. Under the <schedule> section you can set thd type to “time_schedule” and use the time_slot parameter to define things in either HH:MM format or *:MM to run every hour at a particular minute (http://docs.perfsonar.net/config_regular_testing.html#time-slot-directive). Example throughput test that runs at 5:00AM and 5:00PM below:

<test>

    description     bwctl/iperf3 test

    target          myhost1.local

    target          myhost2.local

    target          myhost3.local

    <parameters>

        type             bwctl

        tool             iperf3

        duration         20

    </parameters>

    <schedule>

        type       time_schedule

        time_slot  5:00

        time_slot  17:00

    </schedule>

</test>

Thanks,

Andy

I don't know if this has been answered yet. Is there a way in PerSonar to
schedule WHEN the tests go off. From what I've seen it is semi-random in
nature.
