perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Dan Doyle <>]

Hi Tomppa,

A couple of things...

1 - if you believe you have found outdated docs pages, could you please point out them out specifically? It's possible you may be looking at older reference docs, or it's possible something was overlooked but a bit hard to tell without details.

2 - When using a central measurement archive, the hosts have to authenticate to it to submit their test results. This is done with by whitelisting the IPs which are allowed to submit results, or by using a shared key. See the following:

https://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_ma_install.html#authenticating-by-ip-address

https://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_ma_install.html#authenticating-by-username-and-api-key

3 - If you believe that the above is all setup, you may need to debug the test results themselves. The scheduler agent for perfsonar (pScheduler) has an API that makes this pretty straightforward. If you run `pscheduler schedule -PT1H` it will show all of the runs it has performed in the last hour. More on that here: http://docs.perfsonar.net/troubleshooting_overview.html#checking-the-schedule. In particular you will want to look at the "archiving" section to see what sort of error you might be getting, or if it's even trying to archive to the central MA.

Hi,

I've been able to configure my internal mesh and I can see from the logs that everything is working and I can ask results locally from pscheduler.  This has been really confusing process because it looks like that many manual pages are still pointing to commands and scripts which do not exists any more.  One thing I'm not able to figure out at all is how to deliver results to central archive.  I've configured measurement_archive directives but nothing happens on central esmond.  Any pointers what still might be missing from my config?

Br,

Tomppa
