Verify configuration records
On a yearly basis, the information registered into GOC-DB need to be verified. NGIs and RCs have been asked to check them. In particular:
- NGI managers should review the people registered and the roles assigned to them, and in particular check the following information:
- ROD E-Mail
- Security E-Mail
NGI Managers should also review the status of the "not certified" RCs, in according to the RC Status Workflow;
- RCs administrators should review the people registered and the roles assigned to them, and in particular check the following information:
- telephone numbers
- CSIRT E-Mail
RC administrators should also review the information related to the registered service endpoints.
The process should be completed by June 22nd.

- Status
Date | Number of endpoints in BDII | Number of GGUS tickets | Issues |
---|---|---|---|
2020-06-08 | 75 | 42 | Some ARC endpoints publish a timestamp instead of a version like 5.X.Y; we can fairly assume they are ARC6 nightly builds, but we're going to close the corresponding tickets after explicit confirmation from the site admin. |
