perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Johann Hugo <>]

Hi

I'm trying to get a central measurement archive working for your perfSONAR deployment.

The network:

- PWA server to generate the pSConfig and MeshConfig json files

http://perf-pwa.sanren.ac.za/pub/config/sanren_mesh_2019.json

- Central Management server running central archive + MaDDash agent + dashboard

esmond is configured to use IP based autherntication:

/usr/sbin/esmond_manage add_user_ip_address sanren 155.232.40.0/24 155.232.195.0/24 202 155.232.50.0/24

https://perf-cm.sanren.ac.za/esmond/perfsonar/archive/

https://perf-cm.sanren.ac.za/maddash-webui/

[root@perf-cm esmond]# psconfig remote list
=== MaDDash Agent ===
[
   {
      "url" : "http://perf-pwa.sanren.ac.za/pub/config/sanren_mesh_2019.json"
   }
]

- Several measurement hosts, running the standard perfSONAR Toolkit ISO, configured to get remote pscheduler config file + use remote central archive.

[root@ps-1-pta-csir esmond]# psconfig remote list
=== pScheduler Agent ===
[
   {
      "url" : "https://perf-cm.sanren.ac.za/esmond/perfsonar/archive/",
      "configure-archives" : true
   },
   {
      "url" : "https://perf-pwa.sanren.ac.za/pub/config/sanren_mesh_2019.json"
   }
]

Problem:

The measurement hosts only submits pScheduler test results to the local host, but never to the central archive.

tail -F /var/log/pscheduler/pscheduler.log

The psConfig file (sanren_mesh_2019.json) that all the measurements hosts use points to my central archive, but it looks like they never use it:

archives
config-archive0
archiver	"esmond"
data
url	"https://perf-cm.sanren.ac.za/esmond/perfsonar/archive/"
measurement-agent	"{% scheduled_by_address %}"

Any ideas how to debug this ?

Regards

Johann
