perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Yiwen Huang <>]

Hello,

I'm a student who is learning how to use perfsonar. This is really a wonderful network measurement project, but I had some problems publishing remote templates. 

I had two hosts both installed centOS7 system and have public ip addresses. Let's denote them as publisher and testpoint. The publisher host installs the toolkit  v4.3.4-1.el7 bundle, the testpoint host installs the testpoint bundle. 

Here is the how I publish a remote template:

First, I wrote a example template that asks the testpoint host to do http test, which is shown in the picture below:

Then, on the publisher, I use the "psconfig publish example.json" command to publish this template and I got a success output as shown below:

After that, on the testpoint host, I use the "psconfig remote add "http://ip_of_publisher_host/psconfig/example.json" command to add this template and this template was shown when I use the "psconfig remote list" command.

However, when I used the "psconfig pscheduler-tasks" command, I got the result below:

I think it means this task was not successfully committed to the testpoint host and it's not what I expected (I thought this task would be successfully committed and the http task would be executed every 1 min as the example.json template requested). 

I read the perfsonar documentation and searched the Internet for solutions but failed. I still don't know where I did wrong. I'm sorry to bother you for this question and I would be very very appreciated if you could reply to me and give me some solutions.

Yours,

a confusing perfsonar beginner.
