Firstly, one has to ask for permission to introduce changes in the database. PLease, send e-mail to Dashboard support (dashboard-support at cern.ch) with your certificate definition.

To check whethere you have permissions or not, please, go to https://wlcg-mon and push Admin button

Then push list and view and see whether your name is in the list. To create profile you need to have On in the first two columns: Modify views and Modify metrics.

• Use web page: https://wlcg-mon

The welcome page looks:

• At the left upper corner there is the button: profiles

Push this button.

• The profile menu is opened. Please, choose between *New profile* if you want to create the new one and *list* if you would like to see the existing profiles.

Create the new profile

• Pushing to *New profile* you get 3 block of the information that you need to fill before push button "Create profile" at the bottom: Profile information, Profile metric instances, Filters

• Start with filling *Profile metric instances* - second block at the page.

One has to push the button *Add* and the new line appears

The name of metrics has to be typed in the left column (Group type). In the middle column (SAM metrics) one has to push to arrows *<>* and the new menu with the list of available metrics will be opened.

The example of the filled *Profile metric instances* is below. For the each group type (ARC-CE, OSG-CE or CREAM-CE) a set of SAM metrics are defined. Each SAM metrics requires the separated line addition. Also, note, that you may have the SAM metrics with the same name but with different roles (f.e. cms_Role_production or cms_Role_lcgadmin). If it is not specified, both lines have to be added.

• The next block is filters. To add the new line one has to push button *Add*. The group names are the same as we used while *Profile metric instances* are filled. One has to fill information in 3 columns: group name, experiment flavor (the *<>* show the menu with different possibilities) and expected name. If opposite is not defined "expected name" coincide with "group name". The filled Filters block is shown below. Note, the basic metrics have a lot of instances.

• The last block to fill is Profile information

Important: the profile name has to be like XXX_YYY. Algorithm should include all described group types. Group types can be combined with '*', + and &. if '*' is used (X*Y) then both of group types should be active (schema AND). If + (X+Y) is used then at least one group type has to be active (schema OR). If & is used in front of group, it means that all instances of the group X should work. F.e. &SRMv2 means that if site has 2 SE, then both of them should work in order site has good quality. Example of Algorithm field filling: ARC-CE+CREAM-CE+(&SRMv2)

• Finally, do not forget to push Create profile button at the end of the page.

Update profiles

Note, you CAN NOT UPDATE the block Profile information: neither name nor Algorithm. The new profile has to be created then.

One can update *Profile metric instances* and *Filters*.

• Push the button: Profile at the welcome page and choose *list" option from the menu. The list of profiles will be displayed.

In two last columns there are buttons: modify and remove. If you push remove the profile will be deleted. If you push modify you will get the content of the profile as seen below. The marked items cam be modified or the new lines can be added with the button Add.
