== Feedback from Helpdesk  ==
== Notifications from ARGO about the nagios probes failures ==
In the process of implementing the notification system in ARGO, it has been recently introduced the following changes in GOC-DB:
*Notifications flag at the site level
*Notifications flag at the service endpoint level
In this way ARGO will retrieve from GOC-DB the information about the sites and services whom sending the email notification and the related recipients.
The logic of the notifications is the following:
{| class="wikitable"
! Site
! Service
! Notify?
|-
| Y
| Y
| '''Y'''
|-
| Y
| N
| '''N'''
|-
| N
| Y
| '''N'''
|-
| N
| N
| '''N'''
|}
If there isn't any email contact defined at the service endpoint level, it will be used the site contact. '''Please review your contacts'''. (the notifications are not implemented yet in ARGO)
'''NOTE''': It is not mandatory for the sites

== NGI ARGUS servers not properly configured  ==
'''IMPORTANT: The ARGUS version that fixes the PAP permissions has been released in UMD 4.6: http://repository.egi.eu/2017/12/18/release-umd-4-6-0/'''
'''Please update to this version.'''
As reported by EGI-CSIRT during the [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/event/3849/ February OMB], several NGI ARGUS servers are not properly configured and they are not passing the nagios tests (eu.egi.Argus-DNs probe):
https://argo-mon.egi.eu/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?servicegroup=SERVICE_ngi.ARGUS&style=detail
How the probe works:
*Central Argus server suspend 1 fake DN each day
*Argo looks for this DN in NGI Arguses
Requirements for passing the test:
*NGI Argus must be configured to fetch DNs
*Argo must be able to connect to NGI Argus
*Argo DN must be authorized to query DNs

'''Connection error''':
*NGI_FI https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=133872 (the service has been marked as not production and not monitored, asked an explanation).
*NGI_HR https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=133867 (the server will be reinstalled on CentOS7)
*ROC_LA https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=133866 (problem in issuing the new the host certificate)
== Decommissioning EMI WMS  ==
WMS servers can be decommissioned. Please '''follow the procedure [[PROC12]]'''. The plan is:
*Starting from January 2018, put the WMS servers in draining: this will block the submission of new jobs and will allow the jobs previously submitted to finish
**inform in advance your users that you are going to put in draining and then dismiss the WMS servers (as per [[PROC12]])
**there might be several VOs enabled on your WMS servers: in case only few of them need to use the service for few weeks more, you might disable the other VOs
*On Dec 14th EGI Operations sent a new broadcast to the VOs reminding the users the forthcoming WMS decommission
*From March, the nagios probe [https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/MW_SAM_tests#General_tests eu.egi.sec.WMS] will return a CRITICAL status for the servers still in production, and the ROD teams will open a ticket to the sites that haven't finished the decommission process yet

== webdav probes in OPERATORS profile  ==
The webdav probes was included in the [https://poem.egi.eu/poem/admin/poem/profile/4/ ARGO_MON_OPERATORS] profile after the approval in the [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/event/3616/ January OMB]: in this way the '''failures will generate an alarm on the dashboard, and the ROD teams can open a ticket to the failing sites'''. If no particular issue occurs, and if at least 75% of webdav endpoint are passing the tests, the probes will be added in the [https://poem.egi.eu/poem/admin/poem/profile/3/ ARGO_MON_CRITICAL] profile, so the results of these probes will be taken into account for the A/R figures.

== Storage accounting deployment  ==
During the [https://indico.egi.eu/indico/event/3241/ September meeting], OMB has approved the full-scale deployment of storage accounting. The APEL team [[Storage accounting testing|has tested it with a group of early adopters sites]], and the results prove that storage accounting is now production-ready.
Storage accounting is currently supported '''only for the DPM and dCache storage elements''' therefore only the resource centres deploying these kind of storage elements are requested to publish storage accounting data.
In order to properly install and configure the storage accounting scripts, please follow the instructions reported in the wiki: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/APEL/Storage
'''IMPORTANT''': be sure to have installed the star-accounting.py script v1.0.4 (http://svnweb.cern.ch/world/wsvn/lcgdm/lcg-dm/trunk/scripts/StAR-accounting/star-accounting.py)
After setting up a daily cron job and running the accounting software, look for your data in the Accounting Portal: http://goc-accounting.grid-support.ac.uk/storagetest/storagesitesystems.html. If it does not appear within 24 hours, or there are other errors, please open a GGUS ticket to APEL who will help debug the process.
'''IMPORTANT''': Do not encrypt the storage records with your host certificate, please comment out the “server_cert” variable in sender.cfg
'''List of sites already publishing and of tickets opened is [[Storage accounting deployment|reported here]]'''. Several sites are not publishing the storage accounting data yet. '''NGIs please follow-up with the sites the configuration of the script in order to speed-up the process.'''
