The perfSONAR-PS Status Collector and Service allows networks to monitor network elements and make available its operational and administrative status information.The perfSONAR-PS Status Collector can collect status information via a number of methods. It can be configured to run a script allowing it to query devices that the service doesn't natively support, or to consult an existing database of status information. The collector can also be configured to obtain status information directly from the switches and routers.
