DNS issues more serious than ever. 7am Tuesday until now there were some gridftp failures and a mixture of webdav failures and blank tests. 

New SAM tests have started to appear...this is a particularly bad time for this to happen. The new tests are not yet contributing to the site status. Several of them are failing despite efforts in the last weeks to prepare for them - mostly extra requirements relating to Echo as an object store. The changes requested for these have now been rolled out on all of the gateways as of today. https://helpdesk.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/Ticket/Display.html?id=480520&results=33c566c2c67a948ee5b93ccb14d96eaa

There are also new SAM tests for xrootd/AAA endpoints which are all green except one for token support. NB...all failing 'token' type tests are expected to fail...I see these are failing at every Tier 1. 

Jobs: still running ok. Some failure spikes but mainly in line with other T1s. Efficiency is a little bit up and down during the last days, but we are doing ok. 

Looking to change the FTS config (all instances) from default to a couple of hundred min/max active transfers. Will copy the ATLAS numbers.
