Plastic Slices Monitoring Status
For the Plastic Slices project, participating aggregates are monitored using collection scripts which aggregate data in local RRD files, and submit it to a central database operated by the GENI Meta-Operations Center (GMOC).
Monitoring configuration requirements
The monitoring architecture and general recommendations are outlined at PlasticSlices/MonitoringRecommendations, along with details about what data is collected. Instructions for enabling monitoring on each of the three aggregate types are at:
- MyPLC: Each site should enable monitoring on the MyPLC host itself
- PlanetLab nodes: Each site should enable monitoring on each MyPLC-controlled PlanetLab node
- Flowvisor: Each site should enable monitoring on the Expedient-managed FlowVisor. If other FlowVisors sit in the OpenFlow control path between the experimental VLANs on your switches and the Expedient-managed FlowVisor, it would be helpful to monitor these intermediate FlowVisors as well.
Monitoring status
The schedule calls for all campuses to be monitoring all resources by 2011-05-09; most campuses are now monitoring; a few are still coming online.
These pages have monitoring data and status data about monitoring:
- http://gmoc-dev.grnoc.iu.edu/api-demo/data/: Data visible at GMOC, using a display tool called SNAPP.
- http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/tango/: Current and historical data, downloaded from GMOC to GPO, and grouped by GENI sliver.
- http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=tango-hosts&style=hostdetail&sorttype=2&sortoption=8: Nagios report showing the current status of which nodes are successfully reporting data.
