* **XRootD Monitoring Shoveler:**
46-
OSG-LHC operations provides infrastructure for the researcher to enable data transfer to their workflows on compute resources. XRootD is the underlying technology to facilitate this. In order to track data access in the accounting system, accounting information must be collected from all of the XRootD servers. By performing scale tests, the team has found instability in the UDP-based data access metric collection native to XRootD. Details of these tests can be found in the reports section below. To aid in the collection of XRootD monitoring packets, the OSG operations team and DOMA developed the [XRootD Monitoring Shoveler](https://github.com/opensciencegrid/xrootd-monitoring-shoveler). The architecture of the shoveler is shown in Figure 1. The shoveler makes the metric passing more resiliant to packet loss by leveraging the OSG message bus. It does this by repackaging the raw UDP packets on the server and then sending them out through more stable TCP stream connections to the bus. Ultimately the shoveler is responsible for ensuring data access accounting data is collected in a reliable way.
