perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Renan PHILIPPE <>]

Hello Andy,

I contact you because need your help.

Just to explain you first, I have installed on one server the Perfsonar toolkit and Maddash.

For the moment, I installed the both on the same for testing.

My Server has the IP 193.49.159.188 and I'm able to do a test toward toward another Perfsonar beacon(doing test to 195.221.27.242), it's working fine.

Below the screenshot.

In futur, we will install Perfsonar on all NR, that is to say near 80 server.

So I would like to automaton he configuration of beacon and dashboard too.

I followed instructions on http://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_overview.html and on http://software.es.net/maddash/quick_start.html but I failed...

Could you confirm me the following, I'm right?

• Elements for the automatic Dashboard are :
  

/etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-guiagent.conf
/usr/lib/perfsonar/bin/generate_gui_configuration

• Elements or the configuration beacon are:
  

/etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent.conf
/usr/lib/perfsonar/bin/generate_configuration

Both, Dashboard and configuration beacon are based on the same JSON file, correct?

I have created a JSON file called confmesh.json available on https://193.49.159.188/confmesh.json.

You can see in it that I created 3 entry for hosts(193.49.159.188 on which I have installed persfonar and maddash, 195.221.27.242 which the remote beacon of a partner, and the last called th2-pp-c6-perfsonar-01.renater.fr which will be one on my futur beacon to deployed)

When I execute the generation of configuration for dashboard and configuration to be published for beacon, I have the following errors.
