Provide System Engineering support to Enabled Source Operations (ESO) access(es) through the revitalization of a metric system that will incorporate data from several agency production systems as well as ESO controlled NIFIs. The metric system will bring all this information together into a one stop shop tool for engineers, analysts and managers to use on a daily basis and will require a variety of views for all the different personnel using it. This task will require knowledge of agency production systems, Elastic Search/Kibana or Splunk and understanding of Linux operating systems. This task entails working with each program’s respective ESO team, Intelligence Community (IC) partners, and Target Office of Primary Interest (TOPI) for optimization purposes. The primary program of focus for this effort is ESO Data Services.
