perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi Ryan,

Looking at your measurement archive I don't see any results, new or old: https://66.194.180.9/esmond/perfsonar/archive/

For the old results, when you originally did the back-up did you include —data? or did you only do —data when you did the restore? If you want to see if you have the data, you can manually expand the tarball (e.g. tar -xzf <file.tar>) and in the folder that gets created look for a cassandra_data directory and a postgresql_data directory. Also verify that they are both relatively large in file size. How big depends on how much old data you had, but if its 0 bytes or a few KB probably something did not get copied properly. If there a few MB/GB or bigger that means things likely worked but for some reason did not get restored properly.

Also, as for why new tasks are failing, for some reason your server stopped letting me connect after I looked at the archive so couldn’t dig out exact error (perhaps you are working on it?). Either in the diags command you ran or in /var/log/pscheduler/pscheduler.log I’d expect to see some type of error. If not, you may want to look at /var/log/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent.log which is responsible for creating the tasks to see if its having trouble creating the tasks.

Thanks,

Andy

Hey Ivan,

The backup script said it succeeded. Is there a way to validate the backup file that the script produces?

Hello Ryan,

 

Please note that your pscheduler call (shared in your email) retrieves these results from the volatile scheduler DB and not from the permanent measurement archive = Esmond.

The graphs are being displayed only based on the results stored in Esmond.

Are you sure your backup procedure succeeded?

Are the results from your measurements updated after the upgrade? Or are you also missing the results after the upgrade?

 

Regards,

Ivan Garnizov

Subject: [perfsonar-user] graphs missing after upgrade to CentOS 7

 

Hey Guys,

I just finished upgrading from Centos 6.9 to 7.4 and i seem to be having trouble with the web interface graphs. I did a backup with ps-migrate-backup.sh and then restored on the new install and used the --data flag.

I immediately had an issue where all of the measurement_archive sections in /etc/perfsonar/meshconfig-agent-tasks.conf were duplicated. Which caused esmond to complain about invalid tokens.

 

That i believe i fixed with: /usr/lib/perfsonar/scripts/system_environment/configure_esmond --force after removing all of the measurement_archive sections.

 

What seems weird to me is that i can see results using the pscheduler command:

pscheduler result --diags --archivings https://66.194.180.9/pscheduler/tasks/2fc0e480-be9c-4652-8af4-abaf56b4fae8/runs/954825fb-cc85-4cf5-ad17-d268b479d4c9

 

Is there something else i need to do?
