  1. Monitoring:Grid, Fabric, Network Jennifer M. Schopf, Argonne National Lab PPDG Review 28 April 2003, Fermilab

  2. Monitoring and PPDG • Many monitoring tools currently available • Different use cases • Different strengths • Legacy systems • Much of PPDG monitoring work is by non-funded collaborators • Les Cotrell, SLAC, IEPM-BW • Iosif Legrand, Cal Tech, MonALISA • Brian Tierney, LBNL, NetLogger, PyGMA, NTAF • Wisconsin Group, Hawkeye J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  3. Tools in a nutshell J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  4. PPDG Role in Monitoring • Deployment and evaluation • Use on production testbeds • Requirements back to developers • Additional information sources • Realistic use cases • Furthering of interoperability goals • GLUE schema • Common interfaces J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  5. Deployment J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  6. Interoperability between Efforts X – Currently available, U – Under consideration J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  7. Overview • Examples of interfacing between tools • STAR use of Ganglia/MDS • Ganglia extension in ATLAS • Mona Lisa interfaces to Hawkeye and MDS in CMS • Scalability analysis • Some future steps J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  8. Ganglia –MDS InterfaceSTAR efforts and use Stratos Efstathiadis, BNL • Developed a modified version of the Ganglia IP • Perl basis • Match the current CE-GLUE Schema • Can connect to the Ganglia Meta Daemon or the Ganglia Monitoring daemon • Simpler and more flexible • Currently being tested at PDSF and BNL J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  9. Ganglia Extensions in ATLAS Monitor Cluster health The added information through Ganglia creates an additional level combining different clusters into a “metacluster” J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  10. MonALISA in CMS • MonALISA (Caltech) • Dynamic information/resource discoveryusing intelligent agents • Java / Jini with interfaces to SNMP, MDS, Ganglia, and Hawkeye • WDSL / SOAP with UDDI • Aim to incorporate into a “Grid Control Room” Service • Integration with MDS and Hawkeye J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  11. Scalability Comparison of MDS, R-GMA, Hawkeye • Zhang, Freschl and Schopf, “A Performance Study of Monitoring and Information Services for Distributed Systems”, to appear in HPDC 2003 • How many users can query an information server at a time? • How many users can query a directory server? • How does an information server scale with the amount of data in it? • How does an aggregator scale with the number of information servers registered to it? J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  12. Overall Results • Performance can be a matter of deployment • Effect of background load • Effect of network bandwidth • Performance can be affected by underlying infrastructure • LDAP/Java strengths and weaknesses • Performance can be improved using standard techniques • Caching; multi-threading; etc. J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  13. MonaLisa Performance CPU Usage Dell I8100 ~ 1GHz Test : A large snmp query (~200 metrics values) on a 500 nodes farm every 60 s.~ 1600 metrics values collected per second from 1 MonaLisa service Threads IO “lxshare” cluster at CERN ~ 600 ndoes J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  14. Future: OGSA and Monitoring • Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) defines standard interfaces and behaviors for distributed system integration, especially: • Standard XML-based service information model • Standard interfaces for push and pull mode access to service data • Notification and subscription • Every service has it’s own service data • OGSA has common mechanism to expose a service instance’s state data to service requestors for query, update and change notification • Monitoring data is “baked right in” J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  15. OGSA-Compatible Monitoring • MDS3 • Part of OGSA reference implementation GT3 • Release will include full data in the GLUE schema for CE; Service data from RFT, RLS, GRAM; GridFTP Server data, SW version and path data • Simplest higher-level service is the caching index service • Much like the GIIS in MDS 2.x • MonALISA • will be compatible with OGSI-spec registration/subscription services • plans to have adapters that can interface to the OGSI service data • LBNL tools also adapting OGSI spec J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  16. Future Work - Interoperability • Efforts will continue to make tools interoperate more • Many tools have the hooks to do this, it’s just a matter of filling in the slots • We need a better understanding of the requirements from the applications J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  17. Summary • Many monitoring solutions are in use by different experiments • Additional experience is leading towards common uses and deployments • Ongoing work towards the use of common tools, common schema and naming conventions • Still need better identification of requirements and the involvement of application groups to work together on a common/consistent infrastructure J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  18. Additional Details

  19. GLUE-Schema Effort • Part of HICB/JTB GLUE framework • To address need to common schemas between projects • framework independent • something to translate into, not a requirement within fabric layer • Mail list: glue-schema@hicb.org • www.hicb.org/glue/glue-schema/schema.html J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  20. Glue Schema Status • Compute Element schema:    • Currently being used in EDG (MDS) and MDS2   • Found a couple minor things missing, which will be added to the  next version    • Will be in MDS-3 • SE schema:   • Lots of good discussion to finalize this at CHEP   • Will start to use this in EDG (R-GMA) testbed 2 later this month • NE schema:   • Merged Ideas from EDG (UK group) with Datatag (Italian group)   • GGF NM-WG is now working on this too. J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  21. Globus MDS2Monitoring and Discovery Service • MDS has been accepted as core software for monitoring and presentation of information at the Grid level • GIIS set up as part of collaboration with iVDGL • Presents overall picture of the state of the Grid sites • Work continuing to interface it to local monitoring systems • Each site/experiment has preferred local solutions • Needed GLUE schema to make this happen J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  22. MDS-3 in June Release • All the data currently in core MDS-2 • Full data in the GLUE schema for CE • Service data from RFT, RLS, GRAM • GridFTP Server data, SW version and path data • Simplest higher-level service is the caching index service • Much like the GIIS in MDS 2.x • Will have configurablity like an GIIS hierarchy • Will also have PHP-style scripts, much as available today J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  23. MonaLisa Current Status • MonaLisa is running for several months at all the US-CMS production sites and at CERN. It proved to be stable and scalable ( at CERN is monitoring ~600 nodes) • It is used to monitor several major internet connections (CERN-US , CERN-Geant, Taiwan – Chicago, DataTag link … ) • MonaLisa is a prototype service under development. It is based on the code mobility paradigm which provides the mechanism for a consistent, dynamic invocation of components in large, distributed systems. • http://monalisa.cern.ch/MONALISA J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  24. Hawkeye • Developed by Condor Group • Focus – automatic problem detection • Underlying infrastructure builds on the Condor ClassAd Tech. • Condor ClassAd language to identify resources in a pool • ClassAd Matchmaking to execute jobs based on attribute values of resources to identify problems in a pool • Schema-free representation allows users to easily add new types of information to Hawkeye • Information probes run on individual cluster nodes and report to central collector • Easy to add new information probes J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  25. Hawkeye Recent Accomplishments • Release candidate for version 1.0 has been released. • Used to monitor USCMS testbed • Used to monitor University of Wisconsin-Madison Condor pool. J. Schopf, PPDG Review

  27. IEPM-BW Status • N measuring to about 55 sites (mainly Grid, HENP and major networking sites) • 10 measuring sites in 5 countries, 5 are in production • Data and analyzed results are available at http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/bandwidth-tests/antonia/html/slac_wan_bw_tests.html • PingER results have been plugged into MDS • IEPM-BW and PingER data available via web services, we are aligning the naming with GGF NMWG and emerging GGF schemas • We will incorporate and evaluate different tests (e.g. tsunami, GridFTP, UDPmon, new bandwidth estimators, new quick iperf) • We are also focusing on making the data useful, working with the Internet2 PiPES project, on long and short term predictions and trouble-shooting.
