Overview

The purpose of this document is to clearly describe the procedure for adding new Nagios probes to the ARGO-SAM release.

Definitions

Please refer to the EGI Glossary for the definitions of the terms used in this procedure.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", “MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

The key words Metric, Probe and Test are defined in the SAM Tests terminology page.

Scope

This procedure only applies to probes which are run under OPS VO and whose scope is global. The implication of this is that any change requested through this procedure has an impact on all EGI Operations Centres in EGI.

This procedure does not apply to SAM internal probes which perform monitoring of individual components on the ARGO-SAM instance (e.g. process monitoring, ActiveMQ connections, etc.).

Entities involved in the procedure

  • Applicant. The Applicant submits a request for adding a new probe. Anyone in the operations community - Resource Centre administrators, Operations Centre staff, Resource Infrastructure Operations Managers - is allowed to submit such a request. The Applicant is responsible for the development and maintenance of the proposed Nagios probe. The Nagios probe use case needs to be well documented.
  • COO. COO is OMB meeting chair, responsible of processing the request and of accepting/refusing it with the consensus of the Resource Infrastructure Providers.
  • ARGO-SAM Product Team. The ARGO-SAM Product Team is responsible of scheduling, integrating and releasing the accepted probes.
