Outline
Current State

• VDT 1.3.6 Validation
• From MIS standpoint looks good
• Buffalo has a problem with 64-bit machine
• OSG 0.1.6 Validation
• From MIS standpoint looks good
• GIP/MDS Configuration
• Digesting GIP documentation and Schema
  specification
• Need to form documentation for proper
  configuration
• Script based
• Should static information GIP requires be part of
  OSG minimum monitoring requirements?
• Ongoing work
• Currently formulating Roadmap for OSG MIS with
  the LCG/EGEE Grid Deployment Team

Outline
Need for MIS-CI Activity Formation

• Monitoring and Information Services - Core
  Infrastructure (MIS-CI)
• The Monitoring and Information Services Technical
  Group has determined the need for a well defined
  MIS-CI Activity.
• This has also been discussed with several other
  Technical Groups and Activities including
  Deployment, Operations, Interoperable and
  Provisioning.
• We have identified several potential interested
  contributors for the Activity already.
• The Activity co-chairs are (pending formal
  acceptance)
• Mark L. Green
• LCG Representative (Markus, Laurence, Software
  Development Team Member)
