DT Known Issues
EGEE JRA4 Face to Face meeting, Pisa, 24-25 October 2005

Present

UEDIN: Alistair Phipps (AP), Andy Jackson (AJ)
CNRS:  Benjamin Vial (BV)

Actions arising
---------------

[AJ] Add DT Savannah issues: notification message when no data is returned,
line should be drawn on the graph when data with the value 0 is returned,
maxresults entry should be disabled where start/end time specified,
saving/loading queries should be supported, filtering of monitoring point list,
specification of parameters

Discussion
----------

PerfSONAR returns too much data - always the finest granularity of data
available if it does not have a statistical value which matches the actual
request (which never seems to happen).  AP considers this to be a problem with
the framework, rather than a problem with the DT.

Capability information - there are a lot of gaps in the data that cannot be
determined from the capability.  To solve this, either fix the frameworks so
they are more reliable or use more complex capability information which has a
set of available times.  This was discussed at a previous F2F and we decided to
not use the complex capability information because it would mean having to query
the results database (in whatever form) within a framework for a capability
query.  It may be useful in the DT to display a message when no data was
returned.

MaxResults - this makes no sense when start time / end time are specified, as
the limited number of results should be centred around the focus (target) time.
This field should be disabled when start time / end time are used.

Saving/loading queries - AJ emphasised that this would have been very useful
during testing.  Should be added to Savannah.

Filtering list - importance of this highlighted with number of monitoring points
already available - and this number will likely only increase.  Will be added to
Savannah, though already documented in Architecture doc.

Specification of parameters - known to be useful - will be added to Savannah.
