Time	Item	Who	Notes
30 min	NCSA cluster monitoring plans	Unknown User (korrapa2)	Looking for alternatives that are less limited than Nagios Considered Ganglia. Liked its aggregation capabilities. Now focusing on Grafana (graphics) + InfluxDB (time series database) + collectd (per-node data collector) InfluxDB seems more performant than ElasticSearch Demo of a variety of features for defining graphs and graph layouts / dashboards Currently on internal NCSA network, `lsst-monitor01`. Requires login, so should be able to expose more widely after security review. Currently monitoring verification cluster. Next: Nebula. Discussion of extending to Qserv cluster.
10 min	PDAC development plan for F17	Gregory Dubois-Felsmann	Science Platform and PDAC development and deployment in 2017
10 min	Dedicated data file system for the PDAC Qserv master	Igor Gaponenko	Recent incidents: IHS-299 and IHS-276
10 min	Status of accessing auth/auth system from SUIT/Firefly	Loi Ly	Have been able to connect successfully to CILogon Need user "role" data to be passed back Need ability to log out Need Apache SSL certificate for the SUI-proxy machine
	Misc		Simon Krughoff: is it possible to get more regular NCSA monitoring of the #dm-infrastructure Slack channel for question-answering? (Not for formal incident response - that will go to tickets.)

Unknown User (pdomagala) Ensure that the Qserv master node is included in the Grafana/InfluxDB monitoring system ASAP to support the storage performance investigation needed by Igor Gaponenko. 21 Jun 2017
Unknown User (pdomagala) Get a traceable Apache SSL server certificate set up for the lsst-sui-proxy01 node. 21 Jun 2017
Unknown User (pdomagala) Arrange a meeting with at least Gregory Dubois-Felsmann, Igor Gaponenko, and an NCSA storage engineer to look into what to do about acquiring storage for the Qserv master node 19 Jun 2017
