CARD uses a hybrid push pull protocol to collect data from individual machines. His emphasis is on monitoring and diagnosis. Swatch [HA93] is a push system, in which each machine sends a periodic update to a ....

....However, GARDMON could not been accessed by parallel applications or subsystems except for the gardon client. The same situation could be found in KCAP [16] DOGMA [8] and PARMON [5] The Node Status Reporter (NSR) 14] and the Cluster Administration using Relational Databases (CARD) [2] both provide a standard mechanism for cluster status access, NSR interface and SQL, respectively. But the fixed communication interface is not adequate to satisfy the varied applications. Besides, with the pre formatting modules ClusterProbe can provide more helpful, powerful, perspective and ....

....to the SNMP agent, the data collecting server, and the display system. The CARD (Cluster Administration using Relational Databases) system developed at the University of California, Berkeley, uses MiniSQL to store data and a Java applet interface to make the system accessible through the WWW [1]. Use of a relational database makes the system both flexible through new SQL queries and extensible by adding new fields or tables to the database. Data is gathered at each machine by Perl scripts. The system uses a hierarchy of databases, a hybrid push pull data transfer protocol, and data ....

While this strategy a ords a high performance, suitable solution, the engineering e ort involved is high and not easily reusable for other services. Use an o the shelf relational database (RDBMS) the CARD system [3] uses an RDBMS on each node of the cluster to collect system administration information used to generate reports. Similarly, TACC [35] relies on such a strategy for the small amount of persistent state that it managed. An RDBMS o ers very strong data permanence and consistency guarantees, but it ....

....helps us to understand the prior research and identify important problems to attack. Chapter 3 considers the challenge of monitoring and diagnosing problems in a cluster of computers, and examines our first approach to system administration research: Let the human handle it. We describe CARD [AP97] which shows that we can scale up to a large cluster and achieve substantial flexibility. CARD uses relational tables for flexibility, aggregation to scale in performance and visualization and a novel communication method to reduce network load. CARD does not prevent problems, but merely brings ....

....tend to have two variants: instantaneous and long term. Research in monitoring has progressed along a number of axes. First, there has been work in monitoring specific sources from file and directory state [RL91] to OC3 links [AkcTW96] Simultaneously, generic monitoring infrastructure [HM92, AP97] has been developed. Finally, as the amount of data available has increased, some work on data display has been done [Oet98] The categorization here was by the type of thing being monitored (host, network system) Perhaps a better classification would be by the axes described in the research ....

....has no single point of failure. Our system is fully redundant, and everything is constructed to avoid a single point of failure. Another is correctly identifying failures and their dependencies. We are planning to add several features, such as enclosure monitoring, to Eric Anderson s CARD system[7], an extensible monitoring system based on relational databases, and use it on our servers. The last major component is repairing. There are three steps necessary for this; to mask failures so the system can continue functioning, to take actions to remove the vulnerability caused by a failure ....
