      Operational status from sites 10m VRVS

      VRVS

      * From February 1st 2005 all sites must report by mail their operational status each friday if they want Gonzalo Merino to report with accuracy their status to EGEE Operations Meeting * Since the people from CERN is asking the ROCs to write the monday's 11 report following a sort of template, I think it will be useful that the SWE Site Reports that site managers are sending on friday to this list, try to follow a similar template as well. I suggest then that these reports are produced following the template available at: http://services2.pic.org.es/devel/download/txt/SR-template.txt * Reports should be sent to: egee.swe.roc.contact@pic.es
      Speaker: Merino, Gonzalo (PIC)

      Procedure to send images for forensic analysis 5m VRVS

      VRVS

      El trabajo es un sencillo procedimiento para hacer y posteriormente enviar imagenes de maquinas atacadas. Esta informacion se enviaria a un futuro grupo de analisis forense que he propuesto crear al JSPG. Con esto se consigue que no pierda informacion que puede resultar valiosa para encontrar vulnerabilidades en nuestro sistema; y por otro lado, que rapidamente (de una a dos horas) el administrador del cluster pueda volver a reinstalar el nodo atacado, y que de esta forma vuelva a producir fisica (que es realmente lo que le interesa). * Powerpoint presentation and document procedure uploaded. * New action for Miguel to follow up if forensic analysis is mandatory after an attact and if the forensic data can be sent outside the institution concerned due to privacy.

Right now only one site working with gLite "prototype-site". * They release a gLite version every week. And now people at CERN is trying to install this week-end version. Not able to submit jobs. * Javi Lopez will evaluate the possi * The preproduction cannot be expanded as no certification is done. No external testing possible until the end of month (March). * Agreement for Spanish sites to join in April when the preproduction site at CERN will be running. * Only few selected sites can join the preproduction testbed. * The minimum number of machines to install for a gLite site is around 4 machines.

      APEL Status Report 5m VRVS

      VRVS

      * Pablo Rey reporting. * New version is needed to reprocess accounting data not in database, * New functionality is needed to easy reprocess partially the accounting data, using time intervals for example. APEL STATUS REPORT == Period == From February 26 to March 4 == Summary == February 28 and March 1 Flexible Archiver has been down. This avoids publishing accounting data during these days even if Apel is working fine in some sites. By other hand, during the next week a new version of Apel will be released. We are now checking this version. This new version will solve the problem of the missing records. About this issue, Apel team wrote us the following: > I've added a change to allow users to republish accounting records, it > works as follows: > > 1) When the apel runs it records the start time and then publishes the > accounting data as normal. > 2) When the apel is next sheduled to run, it will do a count of all > tuples stored locally starting from the timestamp given in 1). It will > then compare this will the goc count. > 3) If the goc contains fewer records, the apel will resend the whole > batch of data starting from the timestamp onwards. > 4) Otherwise the goc and local db are in synch. Then eveytime a > successfull synch is made, a new time stamp is recored. If the new version works properly, it will solve a big problem and probably we will avoid to have to reprocess. == Status of each SWE site == Site: CESGA Solved Problems of Last Report: Yes Missing Accounting Entries: None Publishing User Name Information: Yes Actions: None Other Comments: None Site: CIEMAT Solved Problems of Last Report: Yes Missing Accounting Entries: None Publishing User Name Information: Yes Actions: None Other Comments: They has reprocessed and now they have data since 14/11/04 Site: IFCA Solved Problems of Last Report: NO Missing Accounting Entries: From 15/01/05 Publishing User Name Information: Yes Actions: Solved Problems of Last Report.

        Speaker: Pacheco, Andreu (PIC)
      • 5.2.21.3 Mario to send information on network monitoring tools developped at Crossgrid (CLOSED) 15m
        A first assement to use GMDAT package from Crossgrid for network monitoring and measurements The GMDAT package was designed to be monitoring part of the WMS scheduling system in Crossgrid for that it measures several cluster parameters through sensors installed on the nodes. The ones which we will be interested in a first step are the bandwidth and the round trip time between clusters. below are the links to the Install Manual and User Manual http://www.eu-crossgrid.org/installation_guides/CG3.2-v0.2-ICM-PostprocessingInstallGuide.pdf http://www.eu-crossgrid.org/user_manuals/CG3.2-v1.0-UAB-GMDATUserManual.pdf this tool has more functionality which can be useful for us in the future. The tool comprises three parts 1 - sensors on the nodes 2 - Central Database gathers information from the sensors and displays the measurements in a graphical way 3 - SOAP interface to the scheduler (RB) to make predictions about the status of the grid the last one could also be interesting for the WMS people. All Crossgrid packages are presently compiled only on redhat7.3 the good thing is that the gmdat package comprises mostly of perl and shell scripts making it easy (I hope) to compile for other platforms. In terms of dependencies 1 - the sensors depends on ganglia-monitor-core-gmetad ganglia-monitor-core-gmond bing (this actually performs the cluster to cluster network measurements) rrdtool those are available for RHEL/SLC platforms 2 - for the Central database tool, it depends mainly on some perl modules and on the apache server, so this also should pose no problem for RHEL/SLC. the url with the Crossgrid central monitoring host is: http://grid.fuw.edu.pl/cgi-bin/gmdat/engine/grid2.pl where you can play a litle bit to see what the tool is capable. My next actions/studies are: - compiling the tool in SLC3 - evaluate list of rpms - configuration, ports/security - install the CMH (central monitoring host) last but not least, I already sent a mail to the crossgrid team and to the developers asking in particular about supporting issues.
