perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Strelka, Justin" <>]

Hello All,

 

Wanted to bump this again. Has anybody successfully sent data to a remote OpenSearch archive with User/Pass Auth instead of Auth by IP? If so, were there any tricks to getting it to work?

 

Thanks,

Justin

Subject: [perfsonar-user] Failing to send results to remote open search with User/Pass Auth

Hello,

 

I recently set up a new host and am having issues pushing data to a remote Opensearch instance from a test point with User/Pass auth. I can push data successfully by IP auth so I know its not firewall, etc.

 

During my install of perfsonar-core package I noticed the perfsonar user may have failed during creation due to the missing proxy_auth.json file. Output from dnf install perfsonar-core below:

 

Adding password for user perfsonar

tee: /etc/perfsonar/logstash/proxy_auth.json: No such file or directory

[Creating pscheduler users]

[Creating pscheduler_logstash user]

[Creating pscheduler_reader user]

[Creating pscheduler_writer user]

[DONE]

 

When I look inside the /etc/opensearch/opensearch-security/internal_users.yml file I do not see the perfsonar user created anywhere. However, the file /etc/perfsonar/opensearch/logstash_login file does indeed exist with perfsonar:XXXXXXXXXX

 

This is the second host and second install I attempted on newly stood up hosts both with the same outcome and missing /etc/perfsonar/logstash/proxy_auth.json file. The first host I installed perfsonar-archive and re-tried on brand new host with perfsonar-core both with the same issue.

 

Any guidance or confirmation of potential bug in install script for 5.0.8 would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Justin
