Description
glite-LB
New version of LB
Necessary extensions to LB notifications to allow export of LB
data into MSG via LB harvester were added.
Neither the interfaces and standard visible functionality of LB
are affected, the changes are to support notifications via MSG.
Sites which do not plan to start exporting LB data to MSG
needn't install this patch unless they need the bug #55482 fixed.
In order to enable the export, the X509 identity of LB harvester
-- the component which does the actual export -- must be granted
privileged access, i.e. added to /opt/glite/etc/LB-super-users.
Despite extensive pre-certification testing, massive
notifications remain potentially dangerous -- unknown bugs may
result in exhausting disk space and memory. Therefore LB servers
running the MSG export (not just installed this patch but being
actually contacted by LB harvester) should be monitored more
carefully for memory and disk availability.
Due to the minimalistic backport of the functionality, the
implementation is not optimal wrt. LB 2.0. This patch is provided
as a quick solution, sites willing to run MSG export in production
should migrate to LB 2.0 ASAP.
This new version fixes bug #55482: "LB server version not published correctly"
Server-side of bug #35770 is fixed with this patch as well.
