This conduit is for the STAR RHIC users, in particular, those collaborators that are using Grid software.
This is a Grid server for STAR with the standard Globus software installed on it, either packaged by VDT directly or repackaged by the OSG (Open Science Grid). The port range (20000-30000/tcp in this case) is used by the gatekeeper's batch
job-manager processes to allow the user to query and get output fromtheir jobs. It can also be used by the GridFtp server when doing
parallel stream file transfers to open up multiple data channels. If theconduit were denied, then the user's software that requires this service would not function and they most likely would not be able to do their work effectively or at all.

Conduit dropped at GK upgrade in 2009

The conduit's purpose is to provide computer status and usage
information within a resource discovery and monitoring system called MonALISA, as used by the Open Science Grid (OSG). The OSG is a DOE-supported grid computing framework, in which STAR is a contributor, as well as a beneficiary. Without this service functioning (as would be the case without this conduit), the ability of STAR to contribute (and benefit) from OSG efforts would be greatly hampered, since we would not be using one of the primary tools at the heart of the OSG framework.
The ability of STAR collaborators to monitor our own activities would be
diminished, and the OSG community's perception of STAR's level of commitment would be reduced.

MySQL port opening for reading ShiftLog information from remote. Using an OS portable and stand-alone GUI, STAR users will be able to view events and display the content of our electronic ShiftLog. Write access may also be granted and controlled at MySQL access grant level. Necessary for remote sub-system expert support, the impact of having this conduit denied would be that we would not be able to leverage remote expertise and would lose information.

This conduit is required to get monitoring information from the new Online AMQP-based data collection system, a system which will gradually replace our current EPICS based system.

This secondary Web server for our online enclave will host a WebSocket based service in order to provide low-latency updates to real-time monitoring plots to remote participants. Normal HTTP cannot provide the feature we seek to support > 1000 channel updates / seconds. WebSocket is a typical solution for scalable high throughput updates requirements. A transparent reverse proxy setup (via Squid) does not support WebSocket hence the conduit is needed for providing remote collaborators with real-time graphical representation of the detector monitoring. All content of this Web server will be access protected (there will be no public information).

Without this conduit, STAR would be an impasse and not able to pursue the deployment of its scalable architecture aimed at providing full support for detector upgrade and increase data demands.
