  * 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

  APEL Status Report 5m VRVS
  
  VRVS
  
  == Period == From March 5 to March 11 == Summary == March 5, 6 and 7 Flexible Archiver has been down. This avoids publishing accounting data during these days even if Apel is working fine in some sites. During this week, USC have found a possible bug in Apel. Instead of reprocess only the JoinProcessor, they make a complete reprocess (PBSLogProcessor, GkLogProcessor and JoinProcessor). In any case, they must republish all their data: reprocessed data and old data that was not been reprocessed but are in the MON database (by the JoinProcessor reprocess). But only reprocessed data (data stored in the log files) was published. They still miss old data that is in the database but not anymore in the log files. We have reported this error to the Apel team and they will investigate further. To add missing records, after a GOC failure, doing a reprocess in the JoinProcessor (in MON) is enough - of course, if all log files were correctly processed previously. By other hand, we have found some bugs in the new version of Apel. This bugs were reported to the Apel team and they have fixed them. Now, the new version seem to work properly. We hope that during the next weeks this new version will be public available. == 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: 5, 6, 7 Publishing User Name Information: Yes Actions: JoinProcessor Reprocess Other Comments: None 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.

  - 5.3.7.1 Miguel Cardenas to check if forensic analysis after intrusion is mandatory and who can do it (NEW) 15m
    
    About the question, is it compulsory to make fosensic analysis in the EGEE? The answer at this moment is not, following the "Grid Security Incident Handling and Response Guide" from the "Operational Security Coordination Team" (OSCT), and the comment of David Kelsey and Ian Nelson. The reason for avoid establish the analysis mandatory are that, perhaps, making it compulsory could even discourage small sites. However, from the OSCT, it should strongly encourage to people to perform analysis forensic. In other hand, there is not a deontological code for the use of data received in this issue. So, Elio Perez and me have written a draft of this code. We add this draft to the message. Deontological Code for the use of image of compromised computers: - Collected data will not be modified by the analysis team. Any work will be developed using copies. - Collected data will be used only by the analysis team. Nobody else should access to this information. - The analysis team will guarantee the confidentality of any information stored on disks. - Collected data should be used only for research porpouses. Once the investigation has concluded, any information keeped by the analysis team should be destroyed. - In case the analysis becomes useful for research or educational porpouses, only technical information should be used, avoiding any usage of user data. We hear any suggestion about this draft. * We close this ticket and we open new ones: legal implications of forensic analysis, the formal approval of the deontologic code and the steps to add Miguel Cardenas as SWE Security officer
    
    Speaker: Cardenas, Miguel (CIEMAT)
  - 5.3.7.2 Farida Fassi and Mohammed Kaci to setup the initial user support web site (OPEN) 15m
    
    Hello everybody: As we promised in the last our weekly meeting the standalone SWE Ticketing System is ready to be tested. The system can be reached using the following URL: http://cg1.ific.uv.es/tstdesk/index.php. There I have included the list of both the supporter names and the supporter groups names that we sent to me 6 weeks ago, as well as all the changes needed to integrated it to the GGUS one. There is another test ticketing system that is been using for the integration purpose, and it has the same adaptation structure that the one which I am sending to you. To access to the standalone system, one must have an account there, therefore I have created several accounts for all the experts that I have received from you. Below I will list the login/passwor for each one. Once you log into the system you can change your password using the "Edit Profile" option located in the left-hand on the web page. If someone is not appear in the list below, please feel free either to register for an account (using the above URL) or to send to me an e-mail. The system now has only the experts, and to test the whole system in order to provide us a good feedback it is useful to have some normal users. These users will create the ticket, that next will be answerd by the experts. So all the peaple in this mailing list are invited to ask for an account either as an expert or as a normal user. * Next actions. We must test the system prior to make it operative and Mohammed must make operative the ticket import/export to GGUS.

    * Ricardo Graciani requested a new functionality to be added to a future release of Appel. * The functionality would be to be able to reprocess only data between two dates from the whole repository. * Currently this is possible to do by copying the files corresponding to the dates desired in a new directory and reprocess from there. Easy procedure is required. * The agreement is that Pablo will submit the request to the developpers to be added to their todo list. * DONE *
