27. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Monitoring 27 III. Results  Core Infrastructure Platform SAM – Integration of Nagios probes developed by the EMI project Nagios probes developed by EMI were integrated in SAM Update- 22 ‒ deployed in production in October 2013 This activity involved several complex coordination tasks: ‒ establishment of the SAM probes WG (experts from NGIs, EMI and EGI) aimed at analysing the impact of the changes to EGI operations ‒ definition of EGI requirements for the EMI probes ‒ establishment of the EMI/SAM testbed to test newly developed probes ‒ SAM testing campaign where several NGIs volunteered to participate and help validate the final release

28. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Monitoring 28 III. Results  Core Infrastructure Platform SAM – Migration of the central services (1/2) SAM services operated by CERN were discontinued as of 01 May 2014 ‒ CERN didn’t participate to the bidding for providing the SAM services after PY4 ‒ the SAM central services were migrated to a new consortium of partners (CNRS, SRCE and GRNET) ‒ The SAM central services have been hosted by CERN from the creation of the EGI infrastructure Many preparatory activities were need to successfully complete the migration: ‒ define a detailed timeplan ‒ writing technical documentation

29. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Monitoring 29 III. Results  Core Infrastructure Platform ‒ organizing SAM migration meetings to follow up on the transition process and make sure it is implemented in time and within its scope (8 web meeting and 1 F2F meeting at CERN). ‒ the deployment of all the needed services (SAM central instance, messaging brokers, etc.) was moved up in the first months of the 2014 to: ‒ manage any possible issue identified during the installation ‒ validate the new setup running the new central services in parallel with the old ones This plan allowed a smooth transition to the new deployment

30. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Operations Portal v3 30 A complete refactoring of the Operations Portal was completed during PY4: ‒ improved the look and feel, the ergonomics ‒ better portal efficiency, reactivity ‒ more transparent and easy access to the information (e.g. filters on the long table, possibility to export information as json/csv files, auto completion on large list) ‒ new sources of information can be easily added in the dashboards ‒ supports for mobile smartphones and tablets Deployed in production in April 2014 : ‒ An extensive test campaign executed from February to April in collaboration with the NGIs III. Results  Core Infrastructure Platform

31. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 GOC DB v5 31 The GOCDB V5 is a major release able to support different projects and infrastructures Main features of the GOCDB V5: ‒ support different RDMBS thanks to the adoption of the Object Relational Mapping library (Doctrine ORM) ‒ extensions to the scoping mechanism: ‒ allow the creation of flexible resource categories ‒ scope tags can be created to address any grouping requirement such as different projects and infrastructures ‒ extensibility mechanism allowing users to associate custom key-value pairs to sites (used in the Pay-for-Use POC) ‒ support for multiple projects: a single GOCDB instance can now host more projects

32. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 GOC DB v5 32 Adopted by the EUDAT production infrastructure : ‒ “GOCDB V5 is a stable working service for the EUDAT Operations team” from EUDAT experiences with the GOCDB, talk presented by Tatyana Khan (RZG/MPG, EUDAT) at last EGI CF 2014

Results  Core Infrastructure Platform Adoption of SSM2 in the EGI Accounting system (1/2) In PY4 the EGI Accounting system adopted the Secure Stomp Messenger (SSM) protocol V2 ‒ in March 2013 EMI-3 was released including the new EMI- APEL client which adopted SSM2 ‒ the Accounting repository was properly updated to support SSM2 ‒ APEL team supported EGI sites to upgrade their APEL client from EMI-2 to EMI-3 ‒ during PY4 two Accounting repositories worked in parallel to serve both EMI-2 and EMI-3 client ‒ daily summaries retrieved by the Accounting Portal through SSM2. SA1 and JRA1: EGI-InSPIRE Review 2013

35. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 35 Accounting (tbu) III. Results  Core Infrastructure Platform APEL team has worked with sites and developers running alternative accounting clients to use SSM2: ‒ sites in production sending accounting via SSM2 data from ARC, QCG and EDGI Desktop Grid ‒ Globus and Unicore sites successfully tested ‒ accounting data retrieved by the cloud resources by SSM2

36. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Operational Tools – Regionalisation (1/2) 36 Each tool has its working regionalisation solution offered as: ‒ independent tool instance ‒ regionalized view inside the central instance of the tool Operations Portal ‒ regionalization is supported by providing central customized views for each Operations Centre of the Operations Portal GGUS ‒ The xGUS helpdesk covers the regionalisation needs of the NGIs that do not have a custom solution for their own local ticketing system ‒ 6 NGIs using an xGUS instance: NGI_AEGIS, NGI_AFRICA, NGI_CH, NGI_CHINA, NGI_DE and NGI_SI

37. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Operational Tools – Regionalisation (2/2) 37 GOCDB ‒ regionalisation is implemented through scoping and the implementation of scoped views of the data SAM ‒ SAM fully supports the EGI regionalisation plan since the end of PY1 ‒ all the NGIs are running their local SAM regional instance Accounting repository ‒ the Regional Accounting Repository was released in May 2013 ‒ successfully tested by NGI-ZA and NGI-GRNET Accounting portal ‒ the Regional Accounting portal was released in May 2013 ‒ successfully tested by NGI-GRNET ‒ NGI-ZA showed interest in the deployment of the regional accounting portal
