perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[pete <>]

Hi, I'm running perfsonar 4.0.1.  I have 2 test-points on raspberrypis 
running ubuntu-jessie, and I'm trying to get them to archive to a 
central management host which is on ubuntu 16.04.

I'm not sure where to point the archive to in my mesh config, becauset 
here is no http://mycentralmanagementhost/esmond/perfsonar/archive on 
the central host---as there is on a standard toolkit.

esmond is configured, and I've added ip access as the docs suggest.

eg.,/usr/share/esmond/util/esmond_manage add_user_ip_address 
example_user 10.0.1.1 10.0.2.0/24


I noticed that cassandra is not running, which I thought would be needed 
for esmond to run, but there are no logs in /var/log/cassandra.

It looks like cassandra is set to run via systemctl, but it doesn't start.

I followed the docs, and I set this up in my meshconfig-agent.conf on my 
test-points:
configure_archives 1
use_toolkit 0


Here is the log when I restart meshconfig-agent:
2017/10/20 02:10:02 (30741) WARN> perfSONARRegularTesting.pm:656 
perfSONAR_PS::MeshConfig::Generators::perfSONARRegularTesting::__build_tests 
- Unable to find measurement archive for test 'Ping Test Between MOREnet 
Latency Hosts'. Proceeding with test but results will not be stored.


Any ideas on what's missing?  Please let me know if you my configs would 
help, but I'm thinking something should be running on the central 
management host by default at /esmond/perfsonar/archive.  And cassandra 
not running seems odd, but I'm not too familiar with esmond/cassandra as 
they usually run well from the initial setup.


Thanks,
