perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Tao Zhang <>]

Hi team,

Started from 2021/12/21, the psconfig service on our perfSONAR boxes has been showing 'not running'. I have restarted psconfig-pscheduler-agent service several times, service will go up for a couple of minutes before shutting itself down again.  

service psconfig-pscheduler-agent status

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status psconfig-pscheduler-agent.service

From the history email, I saw Bruce Curtis from NDSU had similar issue. Not sure if this issue has been resolved. 

Thanks,
