[UR-WG] Ideas for storage accounting record

[john.gordon at stfc.ac.uk]

I know Philiipe (he may be on this list). OSG sends cpu UR from Gratia
to the APEL repository for the LHC VOs work which runs on OSG.  I
haven't seen any mention of their storage records in OGF.

Hi John,

 

We have done a bit of chasing in EMI. OSG has a software project called
Gratia (https://twiki.grid.iu.edu/bin/view/Accounting/WebHome) which,
according to Brian Bockelman, implements the OGF UR with two storage
accounting records, StorageElement (path, space token name, space type,
etc.) and StorageElementRecord (dealing with measurements). Philippe
Canal is head of the software project, he may be a good contact person.

 

cheers,

Jon

Hi John,

That's a good point.

Do you know where we can find it or do you have a contact person who we
can talk to?

Google showed me that they just had a Storage Forum but I didn't find
anything on their accounting as of yet.

osg-storage at opensciencegrid.org seems to be a possible starting point.

Did anyone else chase this up?

cheers

Perhaps people should look at the OSG one and comment?
