ABSTRACT
BigBrother [BigBrother]. Each collects data about cluster resources. Inca’s data collection framework can complement such monitoring tools and act as a uniform interface to multiple data sources. Grid monitoring tools used by many organizations include the Globus Toolkit’s Monitoring and Directory Service [Zhang], Condor’s Hawkeye [Hawkeye], the European Data Grid’s RGMA [RGMA] (based on the Global Grid Forum’s Grid Monitoring Architecture [Tierney]), GridLab’s Testbed Status Monitoring Tool [Holub], SCALEA-G [Truong], and MonALISA [MonALISA]. See [Gerndt] for a survey of other monitoring tools.
