perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Shawn McKee <>]

Hi Everyone,

Sorry if you receive this more than once.  Posting on behalf of Petya and the pSDash/AAAS teams.  

---------------------------

Dear All,

We are pleased to announce pSDash v1.0, the first production release of a tool designed to track, visualize, and filter for network issues based upon the perfSONAR and related network monitoring data being gathered by OSG and WLCG services. The project is complementary to the Alarms&Alerts service (for which anyone can subscribe; see below) and currently covers the following problems:

• Throughput issues

• High packet loss

• Firewall issues

• Bad clock configurations

• Traceroute issues

• Divergence from the usual path (based on the AS numbers)

• And more

You can access the application at https://ps-dash.uc.ssl-hep.org/ and subscribe to receive emails about the most recent alarms at https://aaas.atlas-ml.org/ (make sure you add a tag if you are interested in specific sites).   

The associated code is being kept in https://github.com/sand-ci/ps-dash 

Let us know if you find any issues or if you have comments/suggestions by opening a ticket with OSG support staff: email and request support for networking/pSDash. 

Thanks!

Petya Vasileva for the pSDash/AAAS team.
