  *  Oct. 2012: probe org.sam.WN-SoftVer-biomed fails for more and more CREAM CEs. This is due to an old version of the probe that is not able to parse EMI2 version => NO TICKET SHOULD BE SUBMITTED FOR THIS ISSUE.

  *  Oct. 2012 It is now possible to add comments in the Nagios interface. On the page of any host or probe, click "Add a new comment" at the bottom of the page, and in the form check the Persistent checkbox. This should help leave messages intended to biomed shifters like "this service has been decommissioned, do not care about it". On the usual list of alarms, a comment is mentioned with a little white cloud icon.

  *  //Report generator for biomed SEs// (edit: replaced by VAPOR) available: in particular, the first report form opens a GGUS search page, a GOCDB search page, and trends and alerts histogram from Nagios, for a given SE hostname. This shall be usefull for shifters when a new SE is in alarm in Nagios.

  *  18/01/2011:the GGUS team provided a link to get the site name from the host name ([[https://iwrgustrain.fzk.de/pages/help/help_hostinfo.php|check here]]). This is useful to submit team tickets!
