GENI Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) Tools

Contacts

GPO System Engineer: Harry Mussman

Mail list: mail to inst-meas-wg@geni.net / subscribe / mailman archive

Scope

Scope: Discuss, develop and build consensus around the architectural framework for the instrumentation and measurement infrastructure that will be deployed and used in GENI.

Objectives

Objectives:

Create an architecture for measurement that enables GENI goals to be achieved, document and refine
Facilitate dialog and coordination between teams focused on I&M
Identify key challenges in I&M that could otherwise inhibit the infrastructure
Solicit feedback from users
Communicate via mailing list, wiki, GECs

Roadmap

Meetings and Presentations


Available GENI I&M Tools

The GENI I&M Capabilities Catalog identified several available tools at the start of Spiral 2. Throughout Spiral 2, these tools have continued to mature, and several were ready for use by the beginning of Spiral 3.

Tutorials covering four available tools were given in the 3rd I&M Workshop at GEC9, and one was given at GEC10.

The community is invited to start using these tools, and provide comments, additions or changes to their developers.


Additional References

  • Vision for GENI I&M (per Barford on 11/18/09)
    instrumentation and measurement systems provide broad data gathering, analysis and archieval capability
    sufficient for scientific mission
    sufficient for operations
    key for success of the infrastructure
  • Requirementsfor for GENI I&M (initial view) (per Barford on 11/18/09)
    measure details of GENI behavior with high precision and accuracy
    no impact on experiments
    ubiquitous
    extensible
    large capacity
    high availability
    resilient
    strong access control
    tight integration with CFs
  • Conceptual strawman (per Barford on 11/18/09)
    instrumentation - taps in the metwork and systems that provide basic signals
    collection and synthesis - programmable systems that collect, combine and transform basic signals
    archieve - measurement data index and repository
  • DatCat project, that provides a catalog that indexes Internet measurement data, which you can then find, annotate, and cite.
