ECHO System Status & PM Planning

Unplanned maintenance

  • Operations 07/17 ECHO outage for approximately 45 minutes starting at 21:54. Currently being investigated (NCR 11012632)
  • Test Bed 07/18 morning long outage of reverb due to permissions issues with URS. Quote from URS “In this morning's URS PM, permissions were migrated from the beta URS environment into the echo-tb environment. As part of that migration, several key ECHO-specific permissions were incorrectly removed. Once those permissions were restored in the echo-tb environment, logging in from ECHO applications resumed.”

 

Ingest problems requiring manual operations intervention:

  • LARC_ASDC 07/17 collection temporal update problem resolved by cache clean and resumption of provider

 

Recent Reverb Metrics

Recent Performance Metrics

NOTE: Diagram has been updated since meeting. The standard deviation spike is due to several queries that were running during our 7/17 outage

OpenSearch Queries

NOTE: A late addition to the ETC minutes. I will be trying to include these as part of our normal agenda. I will also work on getting the numbers to display. The individual pieces of the stack represent different types of clients. For a specific breakdown of client sources, email echo@echo.nasa.gov

Planning 10.52 This Week

 

ETC Topic: REST Ingest API documentation

Based on Ed's request and various other oncoming partners, I am publishing an updated guide to ingest using ECHO's REST interface:

Some Useful REST Links:

 

Frank Schaffer asked about the timeline for REST Search and Order Documentation. We will be targeting mid to late August for this release. Until then, all questions regarding use of the REST API should be directed at echo@echo.nasa.gov

 

ETC Topic: NCR 11012618 Tool to provide relevant tile numbers for a geographic region

Request based on response from a NASA ACSI 2011 Survey for ECHO/Reverb

Open Question: Would a link to a map suffice? Would a calculator be useful to your end-users?

There is an existing capability to search by MODIS tiles but this is not easily mapped to a viewable grid system within Reverb.

This NCR will be prioritized in an upcoming sprint and has been added to NSIDC's wish list.

 

ETC Topic: NCR 11012620 Support for additional languages in UI

  • Is this something that the DAAC's feel would a good use of ECHO/Reverb development resources? This isn't a topic covered by any high priority lists.

 

It was discussed that this is probably not a great use for ECHO development resources at this time. ECHO team should look into verifying that the Reverb help text is easily translated.

Andy posted a link to a YouTube video published by a Spanish blog. Link here.

 

ETC Topic: NCR 11012626 Search Options optimization (adding query parameters based on the MODIS Products Table)

  Just a suggestion: there should be an option under "Search Options" to limit results
based on product names as described on the MODIS product table 
(https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/modis_products_table). Limiting dataset 
results based on "Science Keywords" is clumsy for those of us who know what 
we are looking for. 

  This added option could be called "Product Name", or similar (e.g., "MOD13Q1" 
could be an item) as a list under "Search Options". While the "Search Terms" 
box allows for a specific product to be found, one can only input one 
search term at a time, making it difficult to get, say MOD13Q1 and MCD43A4 
products at the same time. 

This NCR is open for DAAC prioritization.

 

Upcoming Events

  • Operations PM: 07/25 Push of 10.49
  • Partner Test PM: 07/24 Push of 10.50 10.50 pushed 7/26

 

Open Floor

 

Jessica notified us that the Ecological Society of America 97th Annual Meeting is occuring 8/6 - 8/10. She mentioned that Reverb will be shown by the user services group. We do not have any PMs currently slotted in Operations during this time period, and I will do my best to keep it that way.
