===== Connection details =====
This is currently being tested, if you want to send StAR records to the test server you should make the following changes:
There are two ways the SSM can find details of a broker to connect to. One is using the EGI broker networks, the other is specifying host and port of a specific broker.
   
Update the configuration file <code>ssm.cfg</code> default location is <code>/opt/apel/ssm/conf</code>


For the rest of testing and for production, we will use the broker networks.  To retrieve information about brokers in the network, we require two pieces of information:
In the [producer] section, instead of:
* the URL of a BDII
<code>topic: /topic/global.accounting.cpu.central</code>
* the name of a broker network
you need:
** currently available are 'PROD' and 'TEST-NWOB'


You can use SSL or username and password or both to connect to the brokers. For testing we don't use either. If you are using SSL, it is important to get the port number right (it will be a different port to the non-SSL connection) - otherwise the connection may hang indefinitely.

# pidfile location
# Certificate location
# messagedb location


=== Things you probably don't want to change ===
This is currently being tested, if you want to send Cloud Accounting records to the test server you should make the following changes:
# Consumer configuration - you probably don't want to receive messages
# Producer configuration
Update the configuration file <code>ssm.cfg</code> default location is <code>/opt/apel/ssm/conf</code>
## The default topic will be the one we're listening to
## The default consumer DN will be the one of our server's certificate
## The ack topic can be anything, but needs to be unique to your SSM. The default is probably fine


== <code>ssm.log.cfg</code> ==
In the [producer] section, instead of:
<code>topic: /topic/global.accounting.cpu.central</code>
you need:


This is in the standard python logging module's format.
<code>topic: /topic/global.accounting.cloudtest.CENTRAL</code>


=== Things you might want to change ===


# log file location:  
[[Category:Accounting]]
## under the [handler_fileHandler] heading, change the line beginning 'args'. 
## the 'a' argument means that the log file is appended to.
## '''beware!''' - the logging module won't expand environment variables, so you must use a full path
# logging levels for stomppy or SSM:
## under the [logger_*] headings, change the line beginning 'level'. 
## the possible values are DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, CRIITICAL.
 
=== Things you probably don't want to change ===
Everything else.  If you know the python logging system, you can configure the logging as you like - see http://docs.python.org/library/logging.config.html.

Configuring the SSM

The supplied configuration will send messages to the test server CPU accounting SSM.

However, if you need to configure something differently, here are the instructions:

CPU Accounting in Production

This should only be done, once successful testing on the test server has been done. Please contact the APEL team for the setup instructions: APEL-SUPPORT@JISCMAIL.CO.UK

Storage Accounting

This is currently being tested, if you want to send StAR records to the test server you should make the following changes:

Update the configuration file ssm.cfg default location is /opt/apel/ssm/conf

In the [producer] section, instead of: topic: /topic/global.accounting.cpu.central you need:

topic: /topic/global.accounting.storagetest.central

Cloud Accounting

This is currently being tested, if you want to send Cloud Accounting records to the test server you should make the following changes:

Update the configuration file ssm.cfg default location is /opt/apel/ssm/conf

In the [producer] section, instead of: topic: /topic/global.accounting.cpu.central you need:

topic: /topic/global.accounting.cloudtest.CENTRAL
