PerfSonar Installation Notes.

Description

I've installed using rpm the following services in a local machine:

SNMP Measurement Archive
perfSONAR-BUOY
Lookup Service
Status Measurement Archive
PingER Services
LS Registration Daemon

If all your services are registering with the local Lookup Service ( http://access.sprace.org.br:9995/perfSONAR_PS/services/hLS ), that information should all be going to the right place. You'll need to make sure that the "ls_instance" in the configuration files all point to your local lookup service. If it's specified there, you can check the logs for the lookup service ( /var/log/perfsonar/lookup_service.log ) to verify that your services are all registering there. The lookup service will register that information into the "lookup service cloud" (note: this may take a few hours from when you first setup your services). Once the cloud knows about them, you can find your services by going to http://www.perfsonar.net/activeServices/

. This includes links to verify the data on the services. You can also install perl-perfSONAR_PS-perfAdmin to get a local copy of the software above. To add your bwctl/owamp/ndt/npad tools to a community, you can edit the ls registration daemon configuration file ( /opt/perfsonar_ps/ls_registration_daemon/etc/ls_registration_daemon.conf ), and add "site_project PROJECT_NAME" lines. e.g.

site_project         Internet2
site_project         LHC

and restart the ls registration daemon when you're done. Remember to configure your iptables rules to allow several ports to be used by, for example, bwctl or owamp . More informations at http://www.internet2.edu/performance/pS-PS/
