perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi Debbie,

Per our in-person discussion, check the file /var/lib/perfsonar/toolkit/gui-tasks.conf. There might be a host duplicated twice in there. If you need another pair of eyes on that file please feel free to share it. 

Thanks,

Andy

I didn’t stay on top of the upgrade to 5.0 on my CentOS7 perfsonar system and so my limits file had a bad test in it. I had some time to dig in in June and didn’t get it working, but in the process tried to add and delete tests and hosts, which somehow broke the test configuration page.

fast forward to last week when i got back to this with a goal of getting things working and using perfsonar more, and successfully fixed my limits issue, and now my tests are running again, but it did not fix the test configuration page issue.

no matter how I get to the test configuration page it stays with the loading image as long as I leave it. Then when I click on the page it shows no test by test or by host. the +host and +Test buttons give me a partial screen and never save.

I went through the troubleshooting section of the website and looked at lots of logs. nothing helpful in the pscheduler logs, but this goes in the ssl error log every time I go to the configure test page:

If I’m reading it correctly, I have one host defined twice (or improperly) some how?

the only place I found the hosts (with a lot of grepping directories) was in /etc/perfsonar/psconfig/toolkit-webui.json  which doesn’t appear to define it twice.  renaming that file to something else and trying to load the page didn’t help (I’m happy to rebuild the tests if needed, there aren’t many).

This has persisted across reboots and uninstalling and re-installing the perfsonar toolkit package

Any pointers to what’s stuck/cached and how to make the configure tests page work again without wiping the system and starting from scratch is appreciated!
