2 Community News & DevOps roundtable

• ATLAS
  • Started to make use of tokens again, but only for SCRATCHDISKs
• CMS
  • Attempt to use of Prometheus monitoring for the servers
    • Encountered crashes; possibly due to Prometheus port already being in use
    • Known issue with some Rucio modules that can’t be imported, when that’s the case
  • Account usage counters: possible double counting? 
    • The accounting is done by rules. As such, multiple rules by the same user on the same DIDs on the same RSE can lead (somewhat by design) to double counting.
• Jefferson Lab
  • Rucio 32 instance up and running
  • Attempting to test tokens with CILogon
    • Please contact Dimitrios in the #Tokens Mattermost channel
