  • Grid service that probe tests.
    • Specify which feature of the service is tested by the probe (e.g. CPU load)
  • Brief description of test.
    • In addiction, put in the description in which case the probe returns 'critical' and when it returns 'warning'.
  • Developer contact information

Category 2

Changes to existing probes. An NGI/EIRO can submit a requirement if the test should which tests be done differently. For each probe in the body of the ticket provide the following information:

  • Grid service tested
    • Test name
  • Brief description of changes
    • In addition to the description, add a use case as example.
  • Is NGI prepared to develop changes?

Category 3

Missing tests. If additional tests should be run, the NGI/EIRO can submit a requirement specifying the test that should be developed. For each probe in the body of the ticket provide the following information:

  • Grid service that should be test.
    • Which metric the probe should return
  • Write a brief description of the probe.
    • Specify a use case if possible.
