GGF Performance Working Group Status of this Memo A Grid Monitoring Architecture
Abstract:
(GMA) being developed by the Global Grid Forum Performance Working Group. The goal of the architecture is to provide a minimal specification that will support required functionality and allow interoperability. Distribution is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright © Global Grid Forum (2002). All Rights Reserved. Large distributed systems such as Computational and Data Grids require that a substantial amount of monitoring data be collected for various tasks such as fault detection, performance analysis, performance tuning, performance prediction, and scheduling. Some tools are currently available and others are being developed for collecting and forwarding this data. The goal of this paper is to describe the major components of a Grid monitoring architecture and their essential interactions. By adopting standard terminology and describing the minimal specification to support required functionality, we hope to encourage the development of interoperable highquality performance tools for the Grid. To motivate the Grid Monitoring Architecture
