Operational issues:

• Failed uploads from RAL WNs to ECHO last Friday
  • Potential overload from the merging +sprucing jobs (they are IO intensive) -- see plot attached
  • Checksum redirects to external gateways could have contributed to that.
    • Sandbox to fix redirects prepared.
• DFC issues last week
  • Resulted in a few spikes of completed and rescheduled jobs
  • some mitigations applied, so hopefully it should work better now
• High failure rate for Simulation jobs
  • Still present
  • The fix is ready, should be deployed with the next DIRAC release (hopefully next week).
