= Plastic Slices Monitoring Status =

For the Plastic Slices project, participating aggregates are monitored using collection scripts which aggregate data in local RRD files, and submit it to a central database operated by the [wiki:GENIMetaOps GENI Meta-Operations Center (GMOC)].

== Monitoring configuration requirements ==

The monitoring architecture and general recommendations are outlined at [wiki:PlasticSlices/MonitoringRecommendations], along with details about what data is collected.  Instructions for enabling monitoring on each of the three aggregate types are at:
 * [wiki:PlasticSlices/MonitoringRecommendations/MyplcConfiguration MyPLC]: Each site should enable monitoring on the MyPLC host itself
 * [wiki:PlasticSlices/MonitoringRecommendations/PlnodeConfiguration PlanetLab nodes]: Each site should enable monitoring on each MyPLC-controlled !PlanetLab node
 * [wiki:PlasticSlices/MonitoringRecommendations/FlowvisorConfiguration Flowvisor]: Each site should enable monitoring on the Expedient-managed !FlowVisor.  If other !FlowVisors sit in the !OpenFlow control path between the experimental VLANs on your switches and the Expedient-managed !FlowVisor, it would be helpful to monitor these intermediate !FlowVisors as well.

== Monitoring status ==

The schedule calls for all campuses to be monitoring all resources by 2011-05-09; most campuses are now monitoring; a few are still coming online.

These pages have monitoring data and status data about monitoring:
 * [http://gmoc-dev.grnoc.iu.edu/api-demo/data/]: Data visible at GMOC, using a display tool called SNAPP.
 * [http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/tango/]: Current and historical data, downloaded from GMOC to GPO, and grouped by GENI sliver.
 * [http://monitor.gpolab.bbn.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=tango-hosts&style=hostdetail&sorttype=2&sortoption=8]: Nagios report showing the current status of which nodes are successfully reporting data.
