perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Shkelzen Rugovac <>]

I went a bit further I think. Looking carefully at what /usr/lib/perfsonar/scripts/system_environment/configure_esmond  is supposed to do I found out that the $KEY remains empty when running it (by adding a line "echo $KEY").

Running separately the command "python esmond/manage.py add_api_key_user perfsonar", I got a complain about a missing module django.core.management.

Then I installed 2 python-django rpms with "yum install django" and rebooted.

After the boot, "/usr/lib/perfsonar/scripts/system_environment/configure_esmond --force" worked and created /usr/share/pscheduler/psc-archiver-esmond.json.

Now, all looks fine. We can see non-empty lists in the archive page.

Is python-django a forgotten dependency of the perfsonar toolkit? Or part of the django that is contained in esmond is missing? eg : django.core.management?

Cheers,

Shkelzen

Making progress….  I also rebooted.  /var/log/messages looks clean now.  But the “pscheduler task” command still returns this error:

 

Unable to read archive file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/pscheduler/psc-archiver-esmond.json'

 

 

 

And when I log in as root I see this (which was there earlier too, this is not new):

Hi,

 

That file that’s missing is really just for convenience, but the fact that it is missing is probably an artifact of the failed setup. Try running "/usr/lib/perfsonar/scripts/system_environment/configure_esmond —force”. It should create the file. Not sure how your setup got that broken, must have had some issue getting to postgres as well at one point.

 

You can ignore those powstream errors about the diretcory missing, those are harmless. 

 

Thanks,

Andy

Andy –

 

I executed the restarts but when I then executed the “pscheduler task” command I got this error:

Just to repeat, we are IPv4 only, we don’t use IPv6.

 

Don’t see any errors in the /var/log/Esmond logs anymore but my /var/log/messages contains this:

Hi,

 

Ok, I’m actually able to recreate these exact exceptions if my host boots with only an IPv6 address. Even after I assign it an IPv4 address things don’t work until I restart some of the daemons. Do your hosts have just an IPv6 address? I see the hostname Shkelzen shared is dual-stack so in theory it should have both and be fine, but maybe there is some race condition with when addresses get assigned vs when the daemons come up? Try the following if you host has an IPv4 address as well, since the commands below seemed to fix things for me after assigning an IPv4 address:

 

systemctl restart cassandra

systemctl restart httpd

systemctl restart pscheduler-scheduler

systemctl restart pscheduler-archiver

systemctl restart pscheduler-ticker

systemctl restart pscheduler-runner

 

If you want a quick command to add something to your archive run:

 

pscheduler task --archive @/usr/share/pscheduler/psc-archiver-esmond.json idle —duration PT5S

curl -k https://127.0.0.1/esmond/perfsonar/archive/

 

The second command should return a non-empty list if things are back to working.

 

If you host is indeed IPv6 only then the above is likely not enough. Cassandra not working properly on a host with IPv6 only by default is a known issue and the fix for that is documented in an FAQ: http://docs.perfsonar.net/FAQ.html#q-how-can-i-get-cassandra-to-run-on-a-host-that-only-has-an-ipv6-address. Unfortunately that one is mostly out of our control so best we can do is provide the FAQ with the fix. The Django error is new, so we can dig closer at that. 

 

Thanks,

Andy

Hi all,

 

Indeed, after applying "yum reinstall esmond" the "internal Server Error" disappeared but not the error in the django.log. 

 

Not knowing what possible service to restart, I just rebooted the whole server and now django logs the following error:

Any hint?

Andrew –

 

That was me.  The “yum reinstall esmond” cleared up the “Internal Server Error” I was getting in the “Test Results” section when I visited the toolkit page.  But it did not clear up the issue Shkelzen is reporting, I have the same error even after reinstalling Esmond and rebooting.  We both did a full install of the 4.02 ISO and our /var/log/esmond/django.log is showing the same failure.  The reinstall has not fixed this problem.

Hi,

 

Someone else reported a similar issue last week and they were able to correct it by doing a “yum reinstall esmond”. The dev team is investigating closer as it doesn't appear to happen in our test builds, so must be some condition or inconsistent package ordering that is triggering it.

 

Thanks,
