perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Phil Reese <>]

Hi,

As I've worked more and more with 5.1.3 json files these questions arose:

1. In the 4.x maddash json grid, the json file needed and used the info 
from the initial Meta section:
{
  "_meta": {
    "display-name": "1:XXXXX-XXX"
  },
This doesn't seem to be used any more, is it still needed?


2. Similarly, this  section was important during the transition between 
v4 and v5:
    "_meta": {
       "esmond_url": "https://xxx.sssss.edu/esmond/perfsonar/archive/";
      }
If there is no need for anything 'esmond' or 'elmond' any more, is this 
section needed?
It is still in the docs here:
https://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_ma_install.html#scenario-2-writing-to-a-remote-archive-with-username-and-password-authentication


3. In recent days, I've built some 3by3 grids, three testpoint nodes and 
an archive node.

I've not been able to get more than one host to start testing, no matter 
how long I wait.

The docs suggest the json file can be placed locally:
https://docs.perfsonar.net/psconfig_pscheduler_agent.html#local-templates

But putting the file 3by3.json in /etc/perfsonar/psconfig/pscheduler.d/  
owned by root with 644 permission doesn't work.

Ideas for troubleshooting?

Thanks,
Phil
