10 | | Campuses, aggregates, and experimenters all have an interest in GENI monitoring capabilities as GENI participation increases over the coming months. Participants in this workshop will discuss questions such as: What do campuses/experimenters need to be monitored? What are you monitoring? What monitoring data would be easy and useful for you to share? The discussion will be very practical, covering monitoring of particular resources such as !OpenFlow, MyPLC, ProtoGENI nodes, and will attempt to apply lessons learned from the Plastic Slices project. The outcome of the workshop will be a list of monitoring topics that are vital to address in the next few months. |
| 10 | Aggregrates, campuses, GENI meta-operations, and experimenters have an interest in sharing data, analysis, and techniques to support operations and experimentation at their location and also at entities they depend on. GENI monitoring includes the collection and analysis of data which supports this interoperability. GENI monitoring overlaps with Instrumentation & Measurement, but I&M will be discussed in a separate session. |
