perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi Aaron,

May seem like a silly question, but in your /etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent.conf are they pointing at http://128.91.196.207/mesh.json? If they are, could you send me /etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent.conf and I can double-check for anything else out of place. Looks like its just not reading that URL. It looks like what I assume are manual tests or tests from another mesh are getting created fine since if I go to https://165.123.50.178/pscheduler/tasks and dig down into one of the URLs its a new task, but looks like its running to a set of hosts not in the mesh shared.

Thanks,

Andy

Hello all,

I am setting up a mesh of test nodes as a proof of concept and running
into a problem. The testing nodes are not getting tests from the mesh.

The test nodes are toolkit iso installs on centos 6, with perfsonar
upgraded to 4.0. The central mesh server is centos 7 toolkit iso
install of 4.0.

The mesh configuration is derived from a conf file and can be found
here: http://128.91.196.207/mesh.json

As per http://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_mesh_agent_config.html the test
nodes have /etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent.conf updated to use the above
file.

/var/log/meshconfig-agent.log has updates like these:
2017/05/03 10:37:01 (1107) INFO> perfsonar_meshconfig_agent:453 main:: -

But the /etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent-tasks.conf on the test node is
not getting updated with the tasks from the mesh config.

Where do I look on the test node to see if the mesh.json file is being
read by the test node?

Thanks,
Aaron
