Service/Activities
Accounting repositories and portal
Overview: The Accounting repositories store computing (serial and parallel jobs), storage, and cloud resources accounting data collected from Resource Centres of the EGI Federation. Accounting information is gathered from distributed sensors into a central accounting repository where it is processed to generate summaries that are available through the EGI Accounting Portal. The Accounting Repository, based on the APEL software, has a MySQL database backend and needs to ensure the exchange of accounting information with peer e-Infrastructures.
The Accounting Portal receives and stores the site, user, and VO level summaries generated by the Accounting Repository and provides views via a web portal, for example, by aggregating sites in a country on custom time intervals. The databases are organized into a CPU record database, a User record database, and a topology database.

Application DB (virtual appliances and applications library)
Overview: The EGI Applications Database (AppDB) is a central service that provides:
- Information about software solutions in the form of native software products and virtual appliances, linking the programmers and the scientists who are involved, and the publications derived from the registered solutions
- The tools for the distribution of the virtual machine images in the cloud sites part of the the federated cloud
- A dashboard to operate virtual machines in the fedcloud sites
Three types of software solutions are offered through the EGI Applications Database:
- Software items, in its classical sense, i.e. applications, tools, utilities, etc..,
- Virtual Appliances: composed by one or more pre-configured virtual machine images packaged with an operating system and software application(s)
- Software Appliances: one or more a set pairs of a virtual appliance and a contextualization script. A Contextualization Script (CS) is the script launched on VM boot time and could be used for installing, configuring and preparing software upon boot time on a pre-defined virtual machine image

Message brokers
Overview:
The message broker network is a fundamental part of the operations infrastructure ensuring message exchange for monitoring, the operations dashboard and accounting. As such it is a critical core infrastructure platform service component whose continuity and high availability configuration must be ensured.

Monitoring
Overview:
Central systems are needed for accessing and archiving infrastructure monitoring results of the services provided at many levels (Resource Centres, Operations Centres and EGI.EU), for the generation of service level reports, and for the central monitoring of EGI.eu operational tools and other central monitoring needs.
Infrastructure operations require in some cases monitoring activities to be conducted centrally to support specific service and capability monitoring, like UserDN publishing in accounting records, GLUE information validation, and of software versions of deployed middleware.
