perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Michael Johnson <>]

Hi,

MongoDB is, as you mentioned, not used for the LS services anymore. It *is* 
still used for PWA, not for any reason related to the lookup service, but 
simply because it was written this way, originally by someone outside the pS 
project. So, from a pS perspective, if unless you have PWA installed, you 
shouldn't see MongoDB.

Keep in mind that PWA is not part of the Central Management bundle, so unless 
you explicitly installed it, you won't have it. These are the PWA packages:

perfsonar-psconfig-web-admin-ui
perfsonar-psconfig-web-admin-shared
perfsonar-psconfig-web-admin-publisher
perfsonar-psconfig-web-admin-auth

I also will note that I don't recognize any of the mongodb-related files you 
mention below, and they don't look like anything we would ship.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Michael
