The Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture: Mediating Information about the Grid

Abstract-Introspection is the prerequisite of an autonomic behavior, the first step towards a performance improvement and a resource-usage optimization for largescale distributed systems. In grid environments, the task of observing the application behavior is assigned to monitoring systems. However, most of them are designed to provide general resource information and do not consider specific information for higher-level services. More specifically, in the context of data-intensive applications, a specific introspection layer is required in order to collect data about the usage of storage resources, about data access patterns, etc. This paper discusses the requirements for an introspection layer in a data-management system for large-scale distributed infrastructures. We focus on the case of BlobSeer, a large-scale distributed system for storing massive data. The paper explains why and how to enhance BlobSeer with introspective capabilities and proposes a three-layered architecture relying on the MonALISA monitoring framework. This approach has been evaluated on the Grid'5000 testbed, with experiments that prove the feasibility of generating relevant information related to the state and the behavior of the system.

“…Several existing monitoring systems are available for monitoring grid resources (computing resources, storage resources, networks) and grid applications. Examples of existing monitoring systems are: Network Weather Service (NWS) (Wolski et al, 1999), Relational grid Monitoring Architecture (R-GMA) (Cooke et al, 2004), NetLogger (Gunter et al, 2000), etc. Network Weather Service (NWS) is a popular distributed system for producing short term performance forecasts based on historical performance measurements.…”

The requirements for automated handing of business process and its monitoring usually have a proprietary form for each enterprise. Unlike the conventional database transaction, business process takes long time for its completion and incorporates very complex handling logics along with business situations. Since those handling logics are frequently changing in accordance with the business policies or environment, enterprises want to integrally capture the whole business semantics while monitoring those process instances. In this paper, we adopted GMA(Grid Monitoring Architecture) for the integrated monitoring of business processes. The GMA(Grid Monitoring Architecture) is a very scalable architecture to effectively monitor and manage monitoring information under the heterogeneous environment. By introducing complex event handling features into GMA to support various processing logics, we could implement a system that enables automated execution and high-level monitoring of business processes. 요 약
