2.3. Issues and mitigation

Issue Description	Mitigation Description
UOGRID site is still suspended.	This site entering in suspension status after 1 month of downtime during the last QR5.
There was several issues related with the Ibergrid Regional Nagios: There was an external issue related with the connection between RedIris and the Galicia centers), which affected to the Ibergrid Regional Nagios. The incident had place on 08/09/2011, and it took from 01:00 AM CEST to 13:00 PM CEST. GGUS ticket #74146 was open in order to do not take into account that period in the A/R metrics. There was an external issue related with the top-bdii configured in the R-Nagios, which affected to the Ibergrid Regional Nagios. The incident had place on 19/09/2011, and it took from 22:00 PM CEST to 12:00 AM CEST (20/09/2011). GGUS ticket #74652 was open in order to do not take into account that period in the A/R metrics.
