Background
PerfSONAR allows transparent access to numerous network-based metrics/characteristics such as latency, throughput and availability. Similarily IEPM-BW has been gathering and presenting such network data for the last few years.
...
A Measurement Archive is a database of network characteristics that is accessible to a PerfSONAR service. This database may currently be of type RRD or SQL. As IEPM-BW network data is currently stored in MySQL, it seems sensible to be able to front IEPM-BW network data through PerfSONAR by defining and implementing a IEPM-BW Measurement Archive for PerfSONAR.
Pre-requisites
It is of course necessary to have PerfSONAR working. It is also necessary to compile and install the SQL-MA for PerfSONAR (note not yet installed!).
Implementation
The following link is documentation of the steps required to implement new data into the SQL-MA: http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Adding_new_metrics_to_the_SQL_MA
iBatis Configuration
iBatis is a set of classes that enable the mapping of SQL data directly into code. This allows the flexible definition and separation of the relationships between a SQL statement and java code.
