perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Kunal Puri <>]

Thankyou Hunter Fuller for your response.

My use-case is specifically to run perfSONAR as an agent on all the production applications and check for latency, delay, jitter, loss metrics to the foundation services, and other network components such as Router, firewall, F5, etc.

All, does it provide such functionality? If not Is there any other alternative?

Thanks

I would not recommend attempting to run PerfSonar on the same VM as
any application. It would probably work in many cases but you will be
swimming upstream the entire time. And it isn't wise for it to share
resources with another app in that way, because it may affect test
results.

Just my two cents.
