What is FISS?
Fermi In Sync Suite is a group of programs and scripts to help us manage the Fermilab Farms with as little amount of effort as possible. It will help us know when a system is down, if it's sick, if something strange has happened to it. The goal is to have all of these things be shown to an administrator and/or operator in a simple graphical way. That doesn't sound like much, but it can be quite a handful as the number of machines you have increases.
FISS is not something that I am writting all by myself. I am also not just completely throwing them all together in a hodge podge way. It is a system that works from the start, that is gradually growing so that it will eventually meet all of our needs.
What are the plans for FISS?
