perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Hyojoon Kim <>]

Hello, 

I see periodic error messages (seems every 1 hour) in the MaDDash log file, "/var/log/maddash/meshconfig-guiagent.log”. Could someone help me understand these errors so that I can fix it?

Code snippet from "/usr/lib/perfsonar/lib/perfSONAR_PS/MeshConfig/Generators/MaDDash.pm” is:

 239             my $columnAlgorithm = "all";

 240             if ($test->members->type eq "star") {

 241                 $test->members->center_address(__normalize_addr($test->members->center_address));

 242                 push @row_members, $test->members->center_address;

 243                 foreach my $member (@{__normalize_addrs($test->members->members)}) {

 244                     push @column_members, $member unless $member eq $test->members->center_address;

 245                 }

 246 

 247                 $column_id = __generate_yaml_key($grid_name)."-column";

 248                 $row_id = __generate_yaml_key($grid_name)."-row";

 249             }

In my mesh.conf file, I see following config lines that have “center_address” in it. I’ve redacted the addresses and hostnames. All “center_address” hosts (perf-1-delay.r.org, 4.5.6.7) are defined in the <organization> -> <site> -> <host> directives.
