  1. Grid Operations Centre Update Trevor Daniels LCG Grid Deployment Board 10th November 2003

  2. Outline • New Staff • Steering Group Meeting • Work in Progress

  3. New Staff • one moved p/t to GOC staff in Oct • Glen Johnson (p/t) • background in edg, unix • will develop accounting system • two started f/t 1 Nov 2003 • David Kant • background in edg, unix • GOC sysadmin • Matt Thorpe • background in user support • application (monitors, etc) maintenance • now up to proposed strength

  4. Steering Group Meeting • Phone Conference 20th October • Monitors for GOC Phase 2 • Operational Procedures • Accounting • Actions on various people

  5. Monitors for GOC Phase 2 • All monitors found to be useful • gppmon (quick high-level state) • MapCenter (detailed tests; history) • GridICE (user-level information) • SLA tests (moving to MapCenter) • So in Phase 2: • continue to develop present monitors, plus • MonALISA • network monitors • MapCenter

  6. MapCenter • Collaborating well with Frank Bonnassieux • Debugging problems with firewalls • Good vehicle for adding GOC-specific tests • Testing SLA tests • ce-auth installed • rb-joblm next

  7. Operational Procedures • SLA Guide • Site Self-Audit • Procedures for Resource Admins

  8. Accounting Plan • define accounting schema, • develop filters to transform required data from sites to the schema for one or two batch systems, • develop mechanisms for collecting data from sites and transmitting it to the GOC, • develop mechanism for matching up data from batch and CE, • develop and install suitable DB to hold accounting data, • develop suitable web-based static and interactive reports.

  9. Work in Progress • drafting Operational Procedures • moving to production GOC system • developing SLA-specific tests within MapCenter • developing gppmon • accounting • collaboration with GGUS

  10. Operational Procedures • Supplements to Security Policy • SLA Guide • Site Self-Audit Procedures • Procedures for Resource Admins • draft to Steering Group • will then be put to wider forum of local sysadmins • Meeting to be arranged at CERN, probably early in new year

  11. Production GOC System • Will be tailor-made for the job • Dedicated to GOC work only • MapCenter, gppmon, website initially • Other monitors after system is in production • MonALISA; network monitors • (not GridICE - remains at CERN) • Adding new tier2 sites to various monitors • four in Spain recently

  12. SLA-specific tests in MapCenter • high-level; close to user activity • but as specific to service being tested as possible • ce-auth (Authentication test) • Done • rb-joblm (job-list-match) • Running; not yet in MapCenter • mds-ldap (ldap query) • Running; not yet in MapCenter

  13. Developing gppmon • to show state of RBs • to add history • after migration to production GOC

  14. Accounting Issue • Should we be accounting all work? • or only that submitted via the Grid? • RRB is considering all LHC work

  15. Collaboration with GUS • Will share Remedy system at Karlsruhe • GOC now has access • Will shortly begin entering problems and resolutions

  16. Summary • Making Progress • Established Steering Committee • Accounting a priority • Start direct contacts with sysadmins
