OSG Software Team

  • AI TimT/BrianL: Release/container policy docs
  • Koji infrastructure setup tasks
• TimT noticed XRootD TPC test failures in the nightlies: Edgar added a test for multi-stream TPC that is known to be an issue and we're waiting on an upstream fix

Discussion

• Marco: Testing Python 3 version of GWMS 3.9.1 (rc3); also making the periodic setup script working under Singularity. Had some difficulty splitting out HTTPD parts into a separate RPM, but fixed now. Dennis working on contacting schedds with SciTokens.

Support Update

• IceCube (BrianL): having authentication/certs issues with the CHTC GWMS pool; suspecting old versions of EL6/OSG/Condor.
• NDSU (BrianL): will be contributing their resources via a private cloud (Lancium) and a custom scheduler; BrianL helping with registration details, and we Carl verified that we're seeing accounting records from them in Kibana.
• UCSD (Carl): Assist HPC cluster admins with Gratia probe issues

OSG Investigations Team

• OSG Status page: Developing script to synchronize OSG contact list to subscribe the status page
• Topology: testing close to complete, deploy in January.
• GRACC (continued progress):
  • migrating more GRACC services to Tiger (Prometheus)
  • documentation for the GRACC rolling update and fresh install
  • next rolling update scheduled for the end of the month
  • APEL Reporting - still investigating whether should we update to the new AMS
