Document findings. 2) Investigate status of existing documents on that topic, and harmonise. .

Monitoring https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Monitoring Done in Q1: - Packaged monitoring? - Write up of monitoring scripts? In progress: - Web page for rankings - Understanding what's important to community What's next? - Investigate more active alert options - Write-up and share scripts (e.g. related to temperature - monitoring differences between nodes/motherboards...) - Branch out to configuration management - WLCG developments with meta-monitoring - Overlap with cloud implementations

Staged rollout https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Staged_rollout Done in Q1 : - Regular updates - EMI-1 to EMI-2 transition - First look at EMI-3 In progress: - SL6 WNs - EMI-3 testing: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Staged_rollout_emi3? (are the current contributions sufficient?) What's next? - Getting active sites to report (such as on DPM) Concerns:

Core services https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Core_Grid_services Done in Q1: - Mesh testing In progress: - UKCMS cloud is being set up - Rates analysis - Glasgow testbed What's next? - IPv6 testbed (inform and coordinate) - Record/understand/disseminate network issues found (e.g. RAL vs distant sites) - Setting up 'virtual site' for core service monitoring (the benefit?)

Wider VOs https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Wider_VO_issues Done in Q1: - Other VO using Tier-1 CVMFS - NGS VOMS server transition (lots of effort required) - Enablement of EarthSci. - VO monitoring - has made significant difference to T2k support. A little prodding here and there has hugely increased the number of CEs that work. This was presented at GridPP30 - WebDav - demo: Presented at GridPP30 In progress: - Webpage summary of git vs other methods for s/w updates (VO reference doc) - Ganga integration for smaller VOs (done for some) - WebDAV? https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/WebDAV#Federated_storage_support - Dirac server (Janucz is making progress on this). - Catalogue sync (waiting on Janucz) What's next?/Issues: - No 'quick start' documentation - Pushing VOs to SRM. What else can we do? - WebDAV? https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/WebDAV#Federated_storage_support - EMI changes - UI (format changes), future of WMS and LFC - Encouraging wider engagement (impact) - Understand needs vs resources available?

Regional tools Done in Q1: - Backup VOMS configured - Nagios alerts enabled for ?? In Progress: - DIRAC/Ganga for smaller VOs. What's next/Issues: - Better approach to changing active Nagios

Interoperation https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Grid_interoperation Done in Q1: - Continued participation in WLCG Operations Coordination Team (still Ian, Alessandra, Jeremy). Alessandra has an expanded role (chair + TF leader) - DPM community - Community now active In progress: - documenting experiences from SARonNGS - other areas of interest from NGS such as the certwizard (what is it + how to use) What's next/Issues - DC cloud work -> Push for the wider meeting? - Post EMI engagement

Security https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Security Done in Q1: * The NGI Security team/GridPP ops security task team has continued a backup rota * Dealing with obsoleted and unsupported gLite middleware. * SSC6 In progress: * On-duty work What's next/Issues: * Contributing to EGI security duties (we currently don't). * Arranging a UK run of SSC6 at remaining sites.

Discussion/Other Areas - Push on site data publishing (http://gstat2.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gstat/summary/EGI_NGI/NGI_UK/) and glue2 validator - Further contributions to the WLCG Operations Coordination Team and checking areas are addressed https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGOpsMinutes130124. - glexec and ARGUS enablement at sites - WN tarball future and example (backup to Matt needed?) - Integration of testbed resources

Accounting https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Accounting Done in Q1: In Progress: - Understanding updates to storage algorithm - Changing algorithm to accommodate LHCb request(s) for more T2 disk resources What's next? - Review HS06 figures at each site - Broaden area to 'New technologies and impacts'? (e.g. use of whole node or cloud scheduling, impacts of many core....)

Ticket follow-up https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Ticket_follow-up Done in Q1: - Continued weekly reporting procedure - Checking solved cases and reporting back - Highlighting "of interest" tickets In progress: - Weekly reporting What's next?/Issues; - No good way to easily to list all tickets submitted by UK NGI members. -The work is top-loaded at the start of the week, often leaving the tickets neglected for the latter half if Lancaster is suffering interesting times. -The ticket section only includes GGUS and directly linked Savannah tickets at the moment - there might be need to cover Savannah more thoroughly. (Savannah use is ending)

AOB - Tentative next meeting date 20th June.
