perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Cameron Harr <>]

I recently updated my perfsonar node (v. 4.0.0.2-1) and services appear 
to be working as well as scheduled tests; however, I can't get any of 
the services in the dashboard to show anything but "Not Running."

I've looked at many log files and many don't have recent errors. The 
ones that do are the user.log and the web_admin.log

In the user.log, I see many of the each of the following error message 
interspersed with other normal messages.

Jun 23 13:09:00 beep powstream[5101]: getaddrinfo(): beep.ucllnl.org: Network 
is unreachable
Jun 23 13:10:26 beep powstream[69870]: getaddrinfo(): Name or service not 
known

In the web_admin log when I load the dashboard, I get the following 
errors (as well as additional debug messages)

The port ranges it complains about are defined in 
/etc/bwctl-server/bwctl-server.conf and the bwctl user has permissions 
to read that file. Any ideas what else it might be?

Thanks,
