I'm getting errors from some perfsonar nodes saying their limits configuration does not allow schedule until.  I looked in the schedule stanza of /etc/perfsonar/psconfig/pscheduler.d/toolkit-webui.json and there is no "until" in the stanza.

 

pSConfig adds the until because it time-limits tasks so they stop running before the next one is put into place.  The usual interval for these is 24 hours.

 

Here's the error when using the above stanza.

lead_url=https://cinc.ps.internet2.edu/pscheduler test_type=throughput  …  forbidden by limits:  Error while rewriting: Task rejected: Schedule-until is not allowed.

 

Internet2’s perfSONAR nodes run a custom limit configuration that, among other things, rejects repeating tasks that span more than 24 hours.  I wrote that and, at the time, either didn’t realize or forgot that jq has functions that could parse the timestamps in the until parameter and rejected it instead.  Please send any tomatoes you need thrown to my attention at Internet2’s office in Washington, DC.  :-)

 

This won’t be difficult to correct.  I’ll try to get the change made, tested and deployed in the next week or so.
