1 | A general comment, the current guideline is somewhat in the middle between a user guide and interoperability guideline. And to be a interoperability guideline it is I think missing some information. I think we need to find the right balance. Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respdond and/or provide new version. | Mark van de Sanden, SURF, WP3 | No clear actions suggested. | |
2 | S4. The high-level architecture diagram provides an high-level overview of the monitoring service, but is missing the stakeholders and some of the interfaces on how the monitoring is actually executed on the external services. I think a high level diagram should focus more on the integration options with external stakeholders and services that should be monitored. I think this would be more helpful for providers who are willing to adopt the monitoring service. Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Mark van de Sanden, SURF, WP3 | Updated the architecture diagram with a revised version. | |
3 | S4.1 Definitions In the section tenant, the URL provided are in the “ui.argo.grnet.gr” domain, should this not be in the eosc-portal.eu domain? Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respdond and/or provide new version. | Mark van de Sanden, SURF, WP3 | updated the links. | |
4 | S7.1. Maybe add a reference where providers can find which Service Types are currently supported Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Mark van de Sanden, SURF, WP3 | Added a footnote with a link to a list of service types supported | |
5 | S7.2 Provide details on
I think this are typical details which should be defined in the guidelines. If these profiles are used in multiple integration options, this can be defined as separate sections. Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Mark van de Sanden, SURF, WP3 | This is too much detail for the scope of the guidelines more info on the topology and profiles is given at the documentation website. | |
6 | S7.3
| Mark van de Sanden, SURF, WP3 | revised the paragraph and removed a number of technical details as its was suggested. | |
7 | S7.4: An example on what should be provided would be helpful. Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Mark van de Sanden, SURF, WP3 | ||
8 | S7.5:

9 | Generally speaking I think the document reads well. Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Niels van Dijk, SURF | Thanks for your feeback. | |
10 | Is there some reference to the requirements of the monitoring service? It is unclear why some technical decision have been made, while others commonly found in a monitoring service are left out E.g.: Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Niels van Dijk, SURF | No reference available for requirements. | |
11 |
| Niels van Dijk, SURF | Section 4.2 uses a website as an example but the metrics the Monitoring service uses are specialised to the service being monitored. | |
12 |
| Niels van Dijk, SURF | yes one can associate extra monitoring metrics to his/her service | |
13 |
| Niels van Dijk, SURF | yes the metrics try to simulate the users actions on a service. It is therefore up to the service provided to provide the necessary probes. But this is too much technical details which is not described on purpose on this guidelines but reference documentation on how to provide probes. | |
14 | Section 7.3: Should such a technical detailed configuration details really be part of the main text? I would suggest putting them in an annex or even on a technical documentation wiki? Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Niels van Dijk, SURF | removed techical details and added reference to the documentation website. | |
15 | Page 15 seems to gave a layout issue "7.5.1 Example used:" Kostas Koumantaros to address within the respond and/or provide new version. | Niels van Dijk, SURF | fixed. | |
16 | p. 11 "if the Providers use Nagios as its monitoring tool, EOSC Monitoring offers the argo-nagios-ams- publisher tool that is currently supported on Centos-7 and Debian-8." | Support for Debian 8 was discontinued at the end of 2020. Insofar, I'd reccomend not to mention Debian here. | Wolfgang Pempe, DFN | removed references to debian 8 |
