- Total number of Sites (1): 283

- Status -> Num. Sites (1):
   ok       -> 170
   degraded ->  22
   down     ->  90
   na       ->   1

- Software -> Num. Sites (2):
   gLite-3_1_0  -> 188
   gLite-3_0_2  ->  53
   gLite-3_0_0  ->   1
   LCG-2_7_0    ->   2

- Average of concurrently running jobs during this week (3): ~25k

(1) Sites that are Certified, in Production and that have been
     monitored by SAM during the last week under OPS credentials.
     SAM is available at:
                https://lcg-sam.cern.ch:8443/sam/sam.py
     To see this page one needs a grid certificate loaded in
     the browser.
     The calculation of the Site availability (Status) is
     described at:
https://cern.ch/twiki/pub/LCG/GridView/Gridview_Service_Availability_Computation.pdf

(2) Software version is coming from the 'CE-sft-softver' CE test.
    Sites not supporting SAM 'CE' service, or not having sent
    results for this particular test during the last week, are
    not counted.

(3) Job statistics taken from GStat:

    Severity: Minor
    Affected services: all
    Symptoms: problems/fixes propagated to SAM possibly 1 hour
              later than normal (tests only in every odd hour)
    Reason: upgrade of SAM UI (SLC4, gLite 3.1)
    Solution: sorting out problems arised during the
              installation + testing

  - From: 23-04-2008 (Wed) 16:15 UTC
    To: 23-04-2008 (Wed) 21:15 UTC
    Symptom: presence of OSG sites alternating
    Reason: misconfiguration of the top-BDII config generator
    Solution: configuration fixed
