perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

And here are a few further psconfig command examples that you may find useful:

psconfig pscheduler-stats
psconfig pscheduler-tasks | jq .tasks[].test
psconfig pscheduler-tasks | jq .tasks[].test.type

If you want to know more about JSON filtering with JQ, I invite you to watch 
Mark's webinar on our youtube channel:

Thanks,

Antoine.
