Monitoring Update10m
Data Volume dashboard: solution for "Group by Month" issue
ElasticSearch is better for the "data accounting" use case. Data can be preserved indefinitely.
The Python script that combines both datasets should write the data to the monit-metrics JSON endpoint
On top if you also want to keep writing the data into IDB it's fine (at the same time you send it to monit)
That way we can store this new dataset, which I believe will come with the type: "daily_datavolume_castor_cta" in ES for long-term storage, and import the historical data from IDB.
Documentation
David has produced some initial documentation
Give feedback to iteratively improve it

ALICE10m
Schedule to get ALICE into production: main agenda item for next week
Would like to have CTA migration done before this test.
Suggestion: now until Sept.: integration with Dirac, functional tests. Oct/Nov: commissioning tests. Jan: migration

Non-LHC Experiments10m
NA62: We are eager to test the NA62 DAQ system with a CTA endpoint as soon as possible. (They use FTS).
Vova starts 1 August.

External Sites10m
We were getting an increasing number of e-mail requests from external sites including RAL and AARNET.
Julien created CTA Community site so we don't get individually e-mailed and don't have to keep re-answering the same questions. 12 people signed up, 6 non-CERN from RAL, AARNet and Tao Lin. Low traffic (so far!).
How can people submit documentation?
How can people submit issues?
How can people submit code/bug fixes?

RAO for LTO10m
Integrating Paul's work
Get something simple into CTA that is better than linear ordering. Then we can iteratively improve it as needed.
The idea is to have a configurable runtime option to allow us to select different RAO approaches ("linear order" as default) so we can test them during commissioning tests.
Only solutions proven to work will be deployed in production.
