===== News =====
Oct. 2021:
The new biomed ARGO instance is available here : https://biomed.ui.argo.grnet.gr

==== Decommissioned resources & decommissioning procedure ====
When a SE is to planned for decommissioning, launch the specific [[Biomed-Shifts:decommisioning|SE decommissioning procedure]].
===== Monitoring Tools =====
The following monitoring tools are currently under development / being tested. They could be used to give information on the VO status but they can't be assumed 100% reliable now. In any case problems should be reproduced manually before a GGUS ticket is submitted.
[[https://biomed.ui.argo.grnet.gr|biomed VO ARGO]]
Note: ARGO probes are launched using a robot certificate that requires to be a Biomed member.
We need to check regularly that membership has not expired, and in case it has, sign Biomed AUP in the name of the user (this is possible as VOMS admin) on [[https://cclcgvomsli01.in2p3.fr:8443/voms/biomed/|https://cclcgvomsli01.in2p3.fr:8443/voms/biomed/]]
(last renewed early March 2020)
The [[http://operations-portal.in2p3.fr/vapor/resources/GL2ResVO?VOfilter=biomed|VAPOR]] provides several operations features related to the monitoring of computing and storage resources (status of biomed Resources, unavailable and faulty resources, etc.). It is complementary of Nagios.
This list is consolidated from 2 sources:
* the GOCDB provides status **downtime, not in production and not monitored**, as well as **site uncertified**,
* the BDII provides status **draining, closed, unknown...**.
**Top BDII:**\\
Make sure the ''lcg-infosites'' tool that is used to query the BDII has **version > 2.6.9**, that comes with gLite 3.2. \\ Use command: ''rpm -qa | grep infosites''
For Biomed it is advised to refer to the **top BDII in IN2P3** \\ ''export LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS=cclcgtopbdii02.in2p3.fr:2170'' \\ The script below may help you detect inconsistencies between top BDIIs:
#!/bin/bash
# This script compares the list of BIOMED SEs returned by 2 top BDIIs: CERN and IN2P3
