Monitoring & Management
Monitoring focuses on areas of shared interest across GENI:
- Tools to aid people with responsibilities (e.g. campuses who have signed the aggregate agreement)
- Lower burden on monitoring done multiple places (e.g. monitoring MyPLC happens at lots of campuses)
- Coordination when we rely on each other (e.g. debugging a VLAN path across multiple networks)
- Monitoring that is truly GENI-wide (e.g. GMOC DB is currently acting as a shared repo of data)
- Monitoring of GENI racks
Management focuses on the ability to control GENI resources (in particular GENI racks).
As GENI scales during Spiral 4, monitoring and management will mature in a manner that scales to include new campuses and new racks.
GEC 11 Monitoring Mini-Workshop focused exclusively on what is required in the short term.
Starting with the lead up to GEC12, discussion is expanding to management and developing a longer term software monitoring plan.
Spiral 4 schedule leverages existing software to define long-term requirements for monitoring/mgmt software:
- At GEC12: Agree on long-term requirements for monitoring/mgmt software
- At GEC13: Agree on APIs & Architecture
- GEC14: Working software
- GEC15: deploy mature monitoring at many campuses/racks
