It is dedicated to ensure: # to be a management and operations tool # to be an entry point for all Egee actors for their operational needs # to manage the available informations about EGEE VOs and related VOs # to monitor and ensure grid day-to-day operations on grid resources and services Each actor of Egee will then be able to enter or have access to informations from an operational point of view according to its role into Egee - what we define as an actor's view: # VO views : actions depending upon VO Managers and VO administrator # VO mb views : actions depending upon VO members responsabilities # RC views : actions depending upon RC responsabilities # and so on with COD, ROC and OAG Home section of the portal is public. Other sections are secured using certificates and SSL authentication. ################################### Main changes from v-4.0 ################################### Main changes are presented in 5 groups: 1- New features 2- Improvements of existing features 3- Bug fixes 4- Failover related work 5- integration and parallel work additionnaly, the exhaustive development list is published at the end of this document, giving for each development the following information: - purpose of the development - entity or person requesting this development - end of development date 1- New features ################################### User tracking ------------- The User Support page of the "RC management" section contains a new tool, allowing to contact a user by mail, only knowing his certificate DN. A mapping DN/mail is done using data available from VOMS servers, without publishing the e-mail address in clear. Goal of this tool is to give a way for site managers to contact users for whom they know only certificate DN. view https://cic.gridops.org/index.php?section=rc&page=usersupport Site/ROC dashboard - Notification mechanism ------------------------------------------- The COD dashboard has limited access to COD operators. Thus, information displayed is useful to sites and ROCs. This release includes a read-only version of the COD dashboard, allowing sites and ROCs to browse SAM alarms or GGUS tickets created by CODs. Additionally, a notification mechanism has been put in place, allowing site managers who register to be notified by mail when SAM raises an alarm for their site. view: https://cic.gridops.org/index.php?section=rc&page=dashboard (Site interface) https://cic.gridops.org/index.php?section=roc&page=dashboard (ROC interface) VO Assessment tool ------------------ A first version of the "VO Assessment tool" presented as prototype during ROC managers meeting in Athens is now available. This version shows high level views of resources available to EGEE VOs, following different scopes (VO, ROC, EGEE) This is not a complete version yet, for the tool is to be integrated to a more long term work dealing with VOs-sites interactions, and to compare available resources with announced resources. view: https://cic.gridops.org/index.php?section=roc&page=supportedvos (ROC interface) https://cic.gridops.org/index.php?section=oag&page=voresources (OAG interface) 2- Improvements of existing features ################################### COD dashboard ------------- - Alarm sorting following discussion and agreement at COD meeting in Athens - GGUS Master/slave ticket relation integrated - Notion of lead/backup team better integrated - other minor improvements: see detailed list at the end of the document for more details Available resources - Metrics ----------------------------- - Pages and mechansims showing available resources have been improved - Display and data presented in the metrics section has been improved VO registration form and procedure ---------------------------------- - Possibility to add AUP as a text field instead of an attached document - New field added to ask the new VO about its user support (GGUS or not) ROC/Site reports ---------------- - Weekly archives improved for ROC reports EGEE Broadcast -------------- - new fields added, mechanism improved 3- Bug fixes ################################### ------------------------ 4- Failover related work ------------------------ CIC portal URL -------------- according to the failover mechanism put in place within SA1 operation tools, the CIC portal has been put under the gridops.org domain.
