[[PageOutline]] = GENI Monitoring = This page captures information and procedures related to the monitoring functions found in the [http://genimon.uky.edu/ GENI Monitoring] system which is based on the architecture described in the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/OperationalMonitoring Operational Monitoring] wiki. Operator and experimenter accounts are available to access this system. To get an account see the instructions in the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIMonitoring/Account Getting an Account] page. If you already have an account and would like an overview of how to use the system, see the [wiki:GENIMonitoring/Overview GENI Monitoring Overview] page. To see an example on how to monitoring experiment resources see the [wiki:GENIMonitoring/GENIMonCheck GENI Monitoring Resources Check] page. Also available is a [wiki:GENIMonitoring/GENIMonTips GENI Monitoring Tips] page, which highlighting features for operators. == Monitoring Features == The [http://genimon.uky.edu/ GENI Monitoring] system make the following types of information available: * Aggregates - Monitored GENI Aggregates data is available that includes details such as allocated nodes, links and slivers at that GENI Aggregate. * Users - Users information known to the GENI Clearinghouse (ch.geni.net). * Slices - All active slices, that may or may not have resources. * Slivers - All active reservations that compute and/or network resources actively allocated. * VLANs - All VLANs in use in GENI Environment, includes both sites and AL2S VLANs. * Nodes - Allocated GENI nodes, including VM and bare metal for all monitored aggregates. * Interfaces - All nodes defined for all aggregates being monitored. Note, ExoGENI keeps historical list of interfaces, while other aggregates only list active interfaces. * Links - Active GENI network connections which map VLANs between endpoints. * Check Stores - External Check that are run by GPO and by IMinds that capture status for specific type of information, such as up/down status or stitching support. * Authorities - GENI Clearinghouse (ch.geni.net) provides valid user and slice information. * Aggregate Status - Site availability, available raw-pc and VM server statistics information. Also allows selecting aggregates by criteria like aggregate type or stitching. See [wiki:GENIMonitoring/AggregateStatusHelp Aggregate Status] help page for more details. == GENI Monitoring API == The [wiki:GENIMonitoring/API GENI Monitoring API] system allows for access to collected data via RESTful calls to the collector. See the [wiki:GENIMonitoring/API GENI Monitoring API] page for instructions on example calls as well as available data types. = Reports = The [http://genimon.uky.edu/ GENI Monitoring] system includes an '' '''Alerts''' '' system that generates notification based on monitoring criteria selected by the user. Currently ''Alerts'' can only be defined for [wiki:GENIMonitoring/Metrics GENI Monitoring Metrics]. See the [wiki:GENIMonitoring/Alerts GENI Alerts] page for instructions on defining alerts. Also included is a '' '''Reporting''' '' system that generates reports based on monitoring data selected by the user. See the [wiki:GENIMonitoring/Reporting GENI Reporting] page for instructions on defining and reports. ''Note: Make sure to define "user" by specifying if a function is for Administrator, Operator and/or Experimenter roles.'' = Getting help = == Account or Password Help == To get help on a monitoring issue, to get a new monitoring system account, or help with a forgotten password, please contact help@geni.net. == Reporting a Problem == Is you are experiencing a problem with the monitoring system, please report the problem to the [http://globalnoc.iu.edu/gmoc/index.html Global Meta Operations Center (GMOC)] at gmoc@grnoc.iu.edu.
