Description

A user transferred data from Cheaha to our LTS using the Globus webApp. After the transfer, the user wanted to verify data integrity by comparing checksums before and after the transfer ( see this ticket: INC0873148).

Currently, it is possible to download the event log in Globus ( successful_transfers.csv) via the globus web interface. This log contains checksum information for each file and works well for smaller transfers.

See the sample successful_transfers.csv:

However, when large data is transferred, the successful_transfers.csv file can become very large, making it difficult to download through the globus web interface.

Plan:
Explore a solution that allows efficient access to large event logs (To be updated...).
