Outline Recent Past, on Dec 9th 2009 Symphony framework Currently , since March 1rst Nagios based Operations Dashboard current status Dashboard NGI package Next future VO ID Card and VO information Broadcast Tool Conclusion Operations and Coordination Tools User Forum 5th, Upsalla, Sweden

Update on the Nagios dashboard The global mechanism with Nagios is working correctly but : The notification system has been in trouble due to a broker problem causing some incoherencies in the dashboard (statuses not updated) Some statuses are useless ( WARNING for the masked alarms) Consequently : we have developed an acknowledgment mechanism to be sure that we have all notifications The status WARNING is ignored Currently, what need to be terminated : the discrimination between all Nagios Boxes . Which Nagios Box is the official one ? James will propose a way to distinguish it. The MDDB connection to retrieve a dynamic configuration for NGIs . This work should be done also with the Nagios Team Operations and Coordination Tools User Forum 5th, Upsalla, Sweden

Dashboard Package Current Situation => A package of test has been deployed - In Portugal - in UKI - In Czeck Republic (still on going) Problems encountered with the package itself : Problem with the format of certificate incompatible with the SSL layer in GOC DB. Problem with the configuration of Lavoisier ( fixed for next version of the package) Some inconsistencies encountered between the documentation and the set-up. External difficulties : Problem with the Web Server installation : SSL layer Httpd configuration Php5 Next version will propose a documentation more adapted and the synchronization with the Central Version . The work with the synchronization, the acknowledgment and the discrimination needs to be completely achieved to propose the official package (End of April) Operations and Coordination Tools User Forum 5th, Upsalla, Sweden

VO ID CARD New “feel and look” of the features revisited for EGI scope Registration of a new VO VO Update New work-flows defined by NA4/SA1 Yearly renewal Deletion All VO Information, metrics available in standard format Distribution of resources / VO Global Information / VO Available on HTML , RSS , XML Statistics and metrics Operations and Coordination Tools User Forum 5th, Upsalla, Sweden

VO ID CARD (2) Specifications are in validation process : https://edms.cern.ch/document/1070320/1 Need for “grid body” TBD and VO naming implementation TBC Implementation ~ 2 month Prototype work already started and delivery of the new version end of May Current data migration strategy defined, coupled with the first VO registration renewal and the new or updated workflows in place Process completion expected by end of June Operations and Coordination Tools User Forum 5th, Upsalla, Sweden

Broadcast tool New “feel and look” but same principle : Select different targets (VO Managers , Site managers , ngi managers...) Send a email to all targets What's new : Define your own list of targets Define your own predefined categories ( template + list ) Add an attachment to the mail Open Question : should we propose a version in the regional package ? Is this feature meaningful in a NGI ? Operations and Coordination Tools User Forum 5th, Upsalla, Sweden
