perfSONAR Microdep

IMPORTANT: This project is still very much under development and will currently not build nor run effortlessly. It is recommended to wait with installation and test until a release branch is ready (hopefully 5.1.0).

This project provides a collection of tools realizing the perfSONAR Microdep analytic system. PS Microdep provides

• A set of analytic scripts which detects events in background latency data-sets and traceroue data-sets
• Analytic scripts which search for corralations between events and report new corrolated events
• A map-basded web-gui which presents overview and details of events reported by analysis
• Charts and a traceroute topology viewer supporting the map-gui in presenting data

Project structure

During the ongoing migration fase for PS Microdep the /dev folder holds misc subprojects the PS Microdep analytic system inherets its components from, i.e. /dev holds the legacy Microdep development environment.

Other folders hold scripts and files applied by the perfsonar version of the system, i.e. files included in builds for different distributions. Note that these files are typically copies of files under /dev. Run make resync to ensure perfsonar version is in sync with legacy version.

Building

Appling unibuild

• Ensure docker is installed: sudo apt install docker-ce-cli docker-compose-plugin
• Fetch unibuild compose file: wget -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/perfsonar/unibuild/main/docker-envs/docker-compose.yml
• el9: docker compose run el9 unibuild build

Updated rpm packages should become available in <package-name>/unibuild-work/products/ (e.g microdep/unibuild-work/products/)

Installation

A set of packages composes the overal analytic system

• perfsonar-microdep : Root packages depending on other perfsonar-microdep packages
• perfsonar-microdep-map : Web based map-gui
• perfsonar-tracetree : Web based graphical traceroute viewer
• perfsonar-microdep-ana : Realtime analytics for event discovery

Note that currently PS Microdep depends on perfsonar-toolkit, i.e. it needs to be installed on a server running the full toolkit suit.
