[Swift-devel] Re: Kickstart

[Michael Wilde]

Hi Brian,

Lets continue this informally in email. Perhaps Ben (Swift Tech 
Coordinator) can join one of the calls.

It will be pretty simple to get kickstart data in the right form.

But an intersting and perhaps valuable (dare I say exciting?) demo of 
logging would be to do a multi-site workflow, and correlate all he logs 
from GRAM, GridFTP, and Swift, into a meaningful ans useful stream; then 
do queries/reports on that stream.

I'm cc'ing the Swift devel list to encourage discussion, but I think we 
can make small continuos steps in this direction and make something 
interesting happen pretty readily.

What would we need to do to get CEDPS-conformant logging from GRAM & 
GridFTP at the sites we frequent? (the CI's TeraPort, uc-teragrid, and 
tg sites at ncsa, sdsc, purdue, tacc, perhaps a few more?)  Plus OSG 
sites as we start using them more?
