I may have misread what you’re after, so let me clarify where perfSONAR stands with everything Esmond:

 

Support for Esmond has been discontinued and packages have not been available since perfSONAR release 5.0.0 in April, 2023.  It was replaced by a new archive based on LogStash and OpenSearch.

 

Sending measurement results to existing systems running Esmond is still supported by installing pscheduler-archiver-esmond.  The presence of the package on the system is enough for pScheduler to know it’s there and nothing needs to be enabled or restarted.

 

Existing applications that read from Esmond can be accommodated with a read-only compatibility layer called Elmond that can be installed and run alongside the new archive.

 

Support for the pScheduler Esmond archiver and Elmond will end entirely with the 5.3.0 release.  As we did with backward compatibility for BWCTL, the pScheduler Esmond archiver will be forcibly disabled and packages for Elmond will no longer be built.
