perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Brian Tehan <>]

Hey Travis,

 

I've been trying to setup the same type of thing; throughput at night and latency all the time.  There is a repeat-cron flag that can be used on a CLI command (not PWA or psconfig) that can get throughput to run regularly, here’s an example:

 

pscheduler task --archive @/usr/share/pscheduler/psc-archiver-esmond.json --slip PT1H --sliprand --repeat-cron "0 0-5 * * 0-6" throughput --source abc.abc.abc.abc --dest def.def.def.def --duration PT30S --bandwidth 41943040 --ip-version 4 --omit PT5S

 

Only thing I haven’t nailed down yet is how to get results from a command like the above to show up in MaDDash.  Hope this helps.

Subject: [perfsonar-user] perfSONAR Tests During Specific Time Frame (pSConfig)

 

Non-NU Email

 

Hello,

 

I'm currently working on a series of throughput tests that my organization wants to perform with some of our perfSONAR devices. We currently are using pSConfig to organize the tests, but we're wanting to run the throughput tests during our off hours (6pm-6am) and at a specified time for each different test (6:00, 6:05, 6:10, etc.). We also don't want to limit the devices to only be able to run the throughput tests during those certain hours so we can troubleshoot the devices whenever we need to. Is there a way for pSConfig to specify the time to start running each test at a certain time without using Cron on each of the devices to add and delete the address of the published pSConfig files? Thank you for your time and help.

 

Sincerely,

Travis Cook
