EGI-InSPIRE:MAPPER-PRACE-EGI Task Force (MTF)-II
Welcome to the wiki page of the Mapper Task Force Phase II (which started in Jan 2012).
Task force coordiantor: Emir Imamagic/SRCE

This EGI Wiki section constitutes the working Wiki through which MAPPER, PRACE and EGI InSPIRE projects will coordinate the activities for Phase 2 of the jointly formed MAPPER-PRACE-EGI Task Force (MTF).
Aims (proposal)
- to integrate QCG Nagios probes into the SAM release and to assess which of these probes will affect site Availability/Reliability in case of failure (affecting
- to assess the status of accounting, and the developments needed to integrate what exists with the EGI accounting infrastructure
- to integrate QCG support activities into the EGI mainstream support tasks (1st level, 2nd level and 3rd level)
Monitoring Status
Nagios probes (already deployed originally in PL-Grid) are available and will be included in SAM Update 19 (expected in end of June).
Accounting Status
Contact: Tomasz Piontek QCG services deployed in the PL-Grid infrastructure report usage records to the national accounting system called BAT. QCG Accounting solution development is in advanced status (70% completed). APEL SSM is being tested to try publishing of accounting records into the central EGI database.

- QCG.Computing
- QCG.Notification
- QCG.Broker
Support
QCG will be externally supported by two partners:
- PL-Grid for the 1st-level support
- PSNC for 2nd and 3rd level support
A technology provider Support Unit will be crated in GGUS (action on Pl-Grid to request this).
