      ROUND:

       

      BO:

      • accounting validation can be done as soon as both CEs report via AUDITOR
        • cannot distinguish between CEs -> only entire number of jobs can be validated 

      KIT:

      • one plugin can report, when operating 2 plugins (Bonn and FZK), the second one has issues
        • request: adjusting APEL plugin, such that one config can send several reports
      • ping GGUS:162805 
      • added HTCondor collector section to AUDITOR paper
      • EGI Accounting is currently scrambling for Token support and in that regard they mentioned they consider Usage Record – Format Recommendation as authoritative on data types and meaning.
      • provides numbers of records per day and current size of db for benchmarks

      WUP:

      • discussion with US colleagues -> kAPEL can do accounting, but
        • cpu info only accessible with metric server (extra API)
        • we need to account for pods (not kubernetes jobs - already adjusted in prototype)
      • kAPEL reports kubernetes accounting info to APEL - but with wrong cpu time

       

      FR:

      • will work on APEL plugin sending separate  reports per site
      • adjustments in APEL plugin and query improvements will be released in v0.4.1 if benchmarks show (significant) improvements

         

      AOB:

      • nothing else to be discussed
