SAM to Nagios migration of sensors/tests - ALICE

The page concerns migration of ALICE sensors and tests that are making use of SAM submission/execution framework.

Goals

• migrate all tests in SAM ALICE CE and VO-box sensors to Nagios based monitoring framework
  • make tests Nagios compliant
    • using special wrappers from org.sam framework
    • rewriting tests from scratch
• integrate migrated tests into the Nagios based monitoring framework

• Result:
  • all ALICE SAM tests using SAM submission framework migrated
  • RPM with the tests released and put into egee-SA1 repository
  • migrated tests integrated into new Nagios based monitoring framework

Planning

Two sensors to be migrated:

• CE
  • one proxy
  • CE-sft-job - Role=lcgadmin; 2 tests on WN; no dependency between tests on WN
• VO-box
  • one proxy
  • six tests

During integration account for test->metric name changes. Eg.:

* metrics properly configured by NCG for Nagios; we could invoke them from CLI with nagios-run-check, meaningful results were produced; however, they fail with "(Service check did not exit properly)" when run under Nagios. This need debugging.

* created and started to populate ALICE_CRITICAL profile in MDDB: metric set org.alice.VOBOX
