perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Garnizov, Ivan" <>]

Hi Phil,

 

Please note the location of the configuration file should be in:

/etc/perfsonar/toolkit/servicewatcher.conf

 

And the cron file: /etc/cron.d/cron-service_watcher

 

 

Regards,

Ivan Garnizov

Betreff: Re: [perfsonar-user] Having trouble with the 'servicewatcher' script and its cron job

 

Hmm, I do first install the testpoint bundle, but then add these three bundles as part of the kickstart file used for each end point:
yum install -y perfsonar-testpoint perfsonar-toolkit-ntp perfsonar-toolkit-security perfsonar-toolkit-servicewatcher perfsonar-toolkit-systemenv-testpoint

Running this on each system gives the same output:
# rpm -qa | grep servicewatcher
perfsonar-toolkit-servicewatcher-4.2.4-1.el7.noarch

I specifically added the bundle to the Maddash server, where it has the same symptoms.

The problem with the .config files not being in the suggested location at all and lack of cron jobs started me down this rabbit hole:
/etc/perfsonar/{servicewatcher.conf, servicewatcher-logger.conf}

Any further throughts?
Thanks,
Phil

Did you install the the toolkit bundle? That is the only bundle with the service watcher. If you installed testpoint or similar then you will not have service watcher.
