perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Phil Reese <>]

Hi Ivan,

I think this is in the correct direction but it hasn't solved the issue yet.

I first changed the retry policy to a much simpler:
{ "attempts": 2,  "wait": "PT120S" }

Still had archiver problems.

Then I removed the 'retry-policy' all together.

Still had archiver problems.

I've now totally removed the second archive destination altogether, waiting for results now.

Note, I've been focused on the MaDDash part of the project, so I didn't pay too much attention to my colleague who wanted the PS data in order to graph it with Grafana.  Together we looked at the perfSONAR docs for archiver options.  The RabbitMQ section (http://docs.perfsonar.net/pscheduler_ref_archivers.html)  offered the stanza we used, including the retry-policy, which does seem too aggressive.

Phil

Hello Phil,

 

Thanks for the info.

It appears your mesh configuration for the archival of data is causing you troubles.

      "archiver_data": {

        "retry-policy": [

          {

            "attempts": 5,

            "wait": "PT1S"

          },

          {

            "attempts": 5,

            "wait": "PT3S"

          }

        ],
