Batch Accounting from scratch

Deployment

Puppet Configuration

• Create a new hostgroup as explained HERE: it-puppet-hostgroup-compute_accounting
  • Add the new hostgroup to managed_modules.yml to get the template files for puppet modules.
• Define the puppet configuration hierarchy:

• Include the puppet configuration for the different components of the accounting service:
  • TSM:
    • Not needed any more. RQF2375701.
  • Collectd alarms:
    • Docs
    • Customise alarms or default values are OK?
    • Configure SNOW ticket information? YES
  • Pluginsync:
    • Enabled? YES
    • Which modules should be whitelisted? cron and archive?
  • Modules:
    • Which external modules should be added? sssd? NO, this was used to give interactive access to accservice. I will remove this.
    • What's the difference between a module, an extra package or pluginsync? Not clear to me why cron and archive added in pluginsync, sssd added as a module (or eosfuse that I think it's not needed and I haven't included it).
  • Repositories:
    • What's the best way to include a package? configure the corresponding repo? YES
  • Monitoring:
    • How do I know I have all the necessary alarms? Experience running the service
