Description

A 2-day training about perfSONAR version 5.2 that will cover:

  • The different deployment possibilities
  • pScheduler and pSConfig CLI usage
  • Grafana customisation, Lookup Service usage
  • On-demand testing with psGUI

See below for the full program. As this is a hands-on training, participation is preferred when on-site. Details about the location and the venue are on this wiki page.

The training is organised by the GÉANT GN5.2 project, Work Package 6 "Network Development", including the perfSONAR development team within Task 3 and is kindly hosted by HEAnet.

perfSONAR is a network measurement toolkit designed to provide federated coverage of paths and help establish end-to-end usage expectations. There are 1000s of perfSONAR instances deployed worldwide, many of which are available for open testing of key measures of network performance.  This global infrastructure helps to identify and isolate problems as they happen, making the role of supporting network users easier for engineering teams and increasing productivity when utilising network resources.
