Present: Maiken, Aleksandr, David, Balazs (notes), Martin, Mattias, Andrii
i) follow up
We revised an earlier decision regarding the [monitoring/perflog] [monitoring/ganglia] blocks. The problem here was that what should go to the [monitoring] parent block
DECISION: it is mandatory to have a parent [monitoring] block if one would like to e.g. configure [monitoring/ganglia] or other monitoring subsystem. The perflog block is also kept under monitoring, i.e. [monitoring/perflog]. The common [monitoring] block will be used in the future e.g. for common monitoring related parameters, for example directory path:
[monitoring]
path= xxx
[monitoring/ganglia]
[monitoring/perflog]
ii) defaults
After a long discussion we couldn't reach any agreement.
DECISION: no change in the status quo. arc.conf.reference must have the default value properly set as a documentation.
TODO: Balazs will post the list of parameters that have no default specified in the arc.conf.reference yet.
iii) what shall happen to EGIS subblocks now that we have ARCHERY?
DECISION1: we drop EGIS (index server) from next major release and as a consequence the two OBSOLETE blocks:
[infosys/index/indexname]
[infosys/index/indexname/registration/registrationname]
to be removed from arc.conf.reference
DECISION2: we keep the possibility to register clusters to old EGIS servers, therefore we introduce a new block for that:
[cluster/registration:indexname]
at the same time the [infosys:registration] goes away.
i) topics shifted to the next and hopefully last config call before finalizing the arc.conf.reference:
- authorizedvo, per-queue authgroup
- the parameter all
## all - Matches any user identity. This variable requires no arguments or values.
## default: all is not set
#all
