perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Michael Robbert <>]

That file exists, but it is empty. I looked at the tarball that was the 
backup from the old system and it does not contain a file by that name. 
Should it have been included in the backup?
I will note that this host is not part of a mesh, all tests were defined 
manually by me from the GUI.
Can I just grab that file from the old host and manually copy it over? Or 
given the fact that the tests are somewhere in the system because they are 
running, can I regenerate the file?
The old hardware is powered off and unplugged from the network, but I'm 
planning on going to the data center tomorrow for other work so I should be 
able to access it then.

Thanks,
Mike

    Hi Michael,

    Please check this file: /var/lib/perfsonar/toolkit/gui-tasks.conf
    Please create a backup copy of it.
    Your configuration (the one you expect to find) should be present there.
    When you recognise them look for rows with: "    added_by_mesh   1" in 
the test specification of your interest.
    Depending on whether this host is part of a remote managed mesh, it may 
have more test statements along with yours. Changing the wrong statements, 
might duplicate the tests.
    After you save the changes, the configuration should be back in the 
gui.... You may have to reboot in the end, but I doubt.

    Please preserve the backup.


    Regards,
    Ivan Garnizov

    Betreff: [perfsonar-user] No tests on configuration page after migration

    Last week I migrated one of our PerfSonar hosts(configuration and data) 
to new hardware. I used the instructions from this page: 
https://docs.perfsonar.net/install_migrate_centos7.html
    Both hosts are/were running CentOS 7, but the page says that is fine. I 
also kept the same IP address so that didn't change. From the dashboard I can 
see that all the tests migrated perfectly. They are all listed, have 
historical data, and new tests are running. The only thing that I see missing 
is if I go to the Configuration page and click on the Tests tab there are no 
tests or hosts listed.
    Any ideas on why they aren't showing up there even though they do appear 
to be running?

    Thanks,
