perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Southworth, Doug Jontz" <>]

Phil,

 

I was taking a look at the MaDDash notes that you made based off of the install sheet, and you had an item at the bottom that you said you’d like to get figured out:

 

Auto redirect to correct MaDDash

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/apache-maddash-root-redirect.conf (Creates new Apache config file)

Add these lines

RewriteEngine On

RedirectMatch ^/$ /maddash-webui/(rest of the string to your specific MaDDash instance)

 

First off, what this is supposed to do is send you directly to your MaDDash instance without you having to type the entire string into your web browser.  For example, if you go to https://data.ctc.transpac.org, it takes you directly to their MaDDash instance. The actual full URL is https://data.ctc.transpac.org/maddash-webui/index.cgi?dashboard=IRNC%20Mesh. To do this, you create the redirect file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/apache-maddash-root-redirect.conf

 

Then, add the following lines to the file (using IRNC as an example):

RewriteEngine On

RedirectMatch ^/$ /maddash-webui/index.cgi?dashboard=IRNC%20Mesh (the rest of the URL after the domain)

 

After and Apache restart the redirect should work.

Hi Pete,

(remember me from your USC days, looong ago?)

 

We've been struggling with this for some time too.  The doc that Andy recently shared opened a lot of doors for our work.  I know it was pulled together very quickly and has some issues, but it had enough core info to allow a breakthrough of the morass we were in before hand.

 

I've assembled our own quick start document, HEAVILY based on the original doc Andy shared, you can take a look at it at:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jH7sLST1l9l9eyG6_0oe82pdl-eOZYYz4poOcQgn-kE/edit?usp=sharing

 

I think we've a reasonable handle on things now.  We're planning a large 30+ agent deployment across our relatively new backbone to allow our networking and monitoring folks to know of internal issues before the emails from our users start.

 

We're in the process of deploying 10 agents right now.  This is to shake out the deployment process and allow us to try a few different bits of hardware before we go for the whole 30+ agent deployment.

 

We expect to PXE boot the agents in the field.  Toward that end we've developed kickstart files for Centos systems and would be happy to share them if anyone is interested.

 

Hope this of help you and any others reading.  PLEASE do provide feedback and suggestions.

 

Phil

We are two people trying to get a new MaDDash install working. We haven't done this before. We think we're close.
