Questions/topics for discussion
Metrics
- How do you measure how many (active) users are using the facility?
- What other user metrics do you measure? Real-time or historical time series?
- Do you only support interactive analysis? If not, how does non-interactive analysis look like?
- What KPI do you consider to define success from the point of view of AF operations?
- How do you monitor storage (XCache or other) usage and performance?
Software distribution
- How are the client software libraries made available to the users
- To what extent, and how, can users customize their software stack (e.g. versions of Coffea and dependencies)?
- To what extent do you provide support of the client software side? E.g. having one or few software distributions that are "guaranteed" to work?
