Thank you Antoine, Working fine now. I missed the bit that I need to add the 
published configuration locally. 

Best Regards,

Ramzi

Did you also added the newly published configuration to the psconfig remote 
list on the maddash server itself?

It is better to do it using the file, as it is local to the same machine and 
will then notice the changes faster when you publish an updated file in the 
future (should notice change within one minute).  That would be running this 
command as root on the maddash machine:

psconfig remote add /usr/lib/perfsonar/web-psconfig/psconfig-aub.json

It should then show with the `psconfig remote list` command and you will get 
information about the grids defined by running `psconfig maddash-stats` (give 
the psconfig-maddash-agent at least one minute to run before running the 
stats command).

If you've done all these steps, but the remote list or the maddash-stats 
shows empty or the dashboard still doesn't show up, have a look in 
/var/log/perfsonar/psconfig-maddash-agent.log to see if any errors are logged.

Let us know how it goes,

Antoine.
