Scalable Monitoring Evaluation

A first version of the Scalable Monitoring Demo was made available on July 13,2010. Software for sensor pod not available at the time. Scalable Sensing Service (S3)information provided included:

This initial version was deemed not complete and evaluation stopped.

A second version of Scalable Monitoring Demo page was made available on July 27, 2010. This version is the the demo given at GEC8. Pointers given for this version:

A third version of the Scalable Sensing Services code was made available on August 10, 2010. The software is available at Scalable Sensing Service web page from the References link, which point to a page including a link download S3 Code. This version still has all the issues with various pages not being available for review. After several days of evaluation this download version was placed on hold and no longer being evaluated.

Scalable Monitoring Findings

July 13th version findings

  1. Most of the link in the S3 web page point to an internal web server and are not available. This is to be addressed once outstanding legal approval takes place.
  1. Some link point to non-existing paths and some items that should be links are listed as text only.

July 27th version findings

  1. Step 10 in Demo Help page may take up to 10 minutes as S3 periodically fetches the data. Need to add the Step 10 delay to the "Help" pages.
  1. The Scalable Sending Service (S3) page is still being revised and not available.
  1. The README is still unchanged and requires clarifications.

August 10th version findings

  1. Extensive issues with Readme including:
    • Incorrect instruction for path, file names, command syntax, etc.
    • No context for operations.
    • No clear distinction between demo steps and user installed setup.
  1. Significant amount of hard-coded values in package made it difficult to configure.
  1. Large amount of files included in the release package that were not intended to be part of the package.

After several exchanges about this source download, instructed to stop using the package and go back to demo page.

Scalable Monitoring How-to

Scalable Monitoring Demo How-to (July 27th version)

  1. Access to the Scalable Monitoring Demonstration page, user is prompted to enter any user name to sign in, no registration is required:

  1. After login, the user is presented with the following page:

  1. At this point the user can create a sliver and choose the number of nodes by selecting "Setup->Create Sliver":

The sliver creation will generate this type of output:

  1. Measurements can be displayed with the "Display Data" page:

Requesting result from the source to the destination defined in the above steps reports the following:

  1. User can also request individual Test Sensors. Available options include:
    • Latency (ping) - determines delay between selected nodes
    • Path (traceroute) - determines routes between selected nodes
    • Pathchirp - estimates available bandwidth between selected nodes
    • Pathrate - estimates capacity between selected nodes
    • Spruce - estimate available bandwidth between selected nodes
    • Tulip (loss) - Under development.
    • SRSprobe - Under development.

All available Test Sensor results are shown in the result pane. Following is sample output from each of the Test Sensors:

Scalable Monitoring How-to (August 10th version)

The scalable monitoring setup requires a Master node and at least 2 sliver nodes (aka sensor nodes) on which to collect measurements.

Setting up Scalable Monitoring on Master Node

Using the Readme file is available at the S3 web site to set up the Master Node:

S3 README

Note: Machine where you create the slice/sliver and Database will be called as Master Node.

Prerequisites

   Step 1: The Master Node must be installed with java version 1.6.0_20 or above Versions.

   Step 2: The Master Node must be installed with Apache Tomcat5.5.

   Step 3: The following environment variables must be set in the .bashrc

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.12
export DERBY_HOME=/opt/Apache/db-derby-10.6.1.0-bin
export DERBY_INSTALL=/opt/Apache/db-derby-10.6.1.0-bin
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

export CLASSPATH=$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derby.jar:$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbytools.jar:$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbynet.jar:$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbyrun.jar:$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbyclient.jar:.$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbyrun.jar:$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbyclient.jar:.

Note: The same steps also mentioned in the "Periodic Process" Readme

Contents of scube.tar.gz

1). cronDeploy4Nodes.sh
2). demo.tar
3). geniscripts.tar.gz
4). geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz
5). sliver.cgi

Steps to follow to install the Scalable Sensing Services

   Step 1: Copy the scube.tar.gz on to the Master Node (preferably on your home directory).

   Step 2: Create the ssh-key (rsa)
Command: - ssh-keygen rsa

   Step 3: Upload the ~/.ssh/id-rsa.pub on www.emulab.net

   Step 4: Generate the ssl key for your account on www.emulab.net. Select an passphrase ( you have to remember that passphrase. eg. genis3slice )

   Step 5: Download the ssl key and store it under ~/.ssl/encrypted.pem

   Step 6: Store the ssl passphrase in ~/.ssl/password file
Eg. echo genis3slice > ~/.ssl/password

   Step 7: Run the ssh agent
Command:- ssh-agent bash

   Step 8: To set the private key to the ssh-agent
Command: - ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa ( Provide the passphrase when it prompts, this should be same as the passphrase in the above steps) br>
   Step 9: Do "echo $SSH_AGENT_PID" to verify for the ssh agent running.

   Step 10: Unzip and Untar the scube.tar.gz on your home directory.

   Step 11: Copy the cronDeploy4Nodes.sh and sliver.cgi into /usr/lib/cgi-bin directory

   Step 12: Untar the demo.tar under webapps directory of your apache-tomcat installations.

   Step 13: Untar the geniscripts.tar.gz under your home directory. This will create a directory called testscripts.

   Step 14: You need to update the createsliver.py, deleteslice.py, deletesliver.py, registerslice.py, sliverstatus.py, test-common.py and unregisterslice.py file for the testscripts path.

   Step 15: Untar the geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz under your home directory. This will create a directory called scube.

   Step 16: Go to ~/scube/csi/csi/common/cgi-bin and copy the csi.tar.gz files to /var/www directory

   Step 17: Go to ~scube/config.txt file and add the SrcDir, ArchiveDir etc of your choice as mentioned in the config.txt file.

   Step 18: Go to ~/scube/moveNode2MgmtNode.sh and update the script for SrcDir according to the previous steps.

   Step 19: Follow the "Installation Instructions for Periodic Measurements" Readme from the http://illusion.hpl.hp.com/genis3monitor/scube for the compilations of SIMModule and to start and stop the SIMModule process in the background.

   Step 20: Open the file /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sliver.cgi to update the followings

$TESTDIR - to your testscripts path,

$SCUBE - to scube directory,

$hostHomeDir - to your home directory

$user - to your user name,

$tomcatPath - to your tomcat webapps directory

  1. Scalable Monitoring software requires Java DK 1.6.0_20 or above and Apache Tomcat5.5. In this evaluation used a Fedora 8 system, where the following where installed:
     $ sudo yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea
     $ sudo yum install jpackage-utils
     $ sudo yum install tomcat*
    

Downloaded the binary distribution of derby-db and placed it on the master node.

  1. SSH key instruction for upload to Emulab had been previously executed, thus they were skipped for this evaluation.
  1. Downloaded the file S3 code and unpacked the file scube.tar.gz on the master node riva.gpolab.bbn.com. Copied files as instructed:
       $ sudo cp cronDeploy4Nodes.sh /usr/lib/cgi-bin/.
       $ sudo cp sliver.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/.
       $ tar xvf demo.tar  # creates a geni directory
       $ sudo cp -r geni /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/.
    
  1. Untared the geniscripts.tar.gz under your home directory. This will create a directory called testscripts. The files createsliver.py, deleteslice.py, deletesliver.py, registerslice.py, sliverstatus.py, test-common.py and unregisterslice.py files must be modified to define the installation directory of the tools.

5 Untared the geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz, this creates a directory called scube. Copy csi file:

 cd scube/csi/csi/common/cgi-bin;
 cp csi.tar.gz (or csi.cgi files to /var/www directory
  1. Edit scube/config.txt file and add the SrcDir, ArchiveDir, and BadFileDir to point to the installation path:
      SrcDir  /home/lnevers/scube/spod/geni/SrcDir
      ArchiveDir      /home/lnevers/scube/spod/geni/ArchiveDir
      ArchiveSuffix   _backup
      BadFileDir      /home/lnevers/scube/spod/geni/BadFileDir
    

to verify

Step 18: Go to ~/scube/moveNode2MgmtNode.sh and update the script for SrcDir according to the previous steps.

Step 19: Follow the "Installation Instructions for Periodic Measurements" Readme from the http://illusion.hpl.hp.com/genis3monitor/scube for the compilations of SIMModule and to start and stop the SIMModule process in the background.

Step 20: Open the file /usr/lib/cgi-bin/sliver.cgi to update the followings

$TESTDIR - to your testscripts path, $SCUBE - to scube directory, $hostHomeDir - to your home directory $user - to your user name, $tomcatPath - to your tomcat webapps directory

end of to verify

  1. Verify that the sliver is Ready:
     $ ./sliverstatus.py -n ln_scube_slice
     Got my SA credential. Looking for slice ...
     Found the slice, asking for a credential ...
     Got the slice credential, asking for a sliver credential ...
     Got the sliver credential, asking for sliver status
     {'status': 'ready', 'state': 'started', 'details': {'urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+sliver+16135': {'status': 'ready', 'state': 'started', 'component_urn': 'urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+node+pc509', 'error': ''}, 'urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+sliver+16136': {'status': 'ready', 'state': 'started', 'component_urn': 'urn:publicid:IDN+emulab.net+node+pc417', 'error': ''}}}
    
  1. Copy geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz to each of the nodes in the sliver:
     $ scp geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz pc417.emulab.net:.
     $ scp geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz pc509.emulab.net:.
    
  1. Login to each of the nodes in the sliver and unpack the geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz file.
       $ tar xvzf geni-scube-sensorpod.tar.gz
    
  2. Download vxargs0.3.3.py from http://vxargs.sourceforge.net and place it in the scube/spod directory.
