  22. What do we want from a Management Dashboard? • “show the state and spot problems” • per-VO, up-to-the-minute, view of the infrastructure • how much of available resources are being used? • how many jobs are running, are queued, why are they queued? (i.e. any issues) • need to include jobs not submitted via the RB • what resources are available to [e.g. ATLAS] per site, per region? • include data transfers (view of problems) FTS, GridFTP and others J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  23. What do we want from a Management Dashboard? (contd.) • Need a summary for each of the 5-6 largest VOs • Need operations view to spot "black holes“ • Consolidation of data from disparate data sources J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  24. Some Observations • “the information is there, but needs to be summarized” • Observations: • GridView navigation is tedious. The graphs are useful • GridMaps are a good way of conveying a lot of information at a glance • Explorer is good for navigating hierarchies J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  25. 1st Pass at a Management View J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  26. VO selection (or All) Site availability/reliability table Explorer navigation linked to GridMap GridMap controls (CPUs, storage, jobs, data transfers etc.) EGEE Operations Management Dashboard

  27. Possible site-specific pop-up AEGIS01 J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  28. Displaying historical data Possible ways for GridView to display graphs – note the horizontal scroll-bar that allows scrolling back in time. J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  29. Topology View show how key components are interconnected e.g (ui-> wms-> bdii), (sam-->wsm->bdii) show the inter-dependencies between services. E.g. what dies if I kill service X? J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  30. Navigation & Status Hierarchical View , with colour-coded percolation of status Allows quick navigation to problem element Check tools that provide Business Process Views (eg. BMC Patrol, Unicenter TNG) J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards

  31. Key Points • Custom views are desirable • Consider using existing toolkits • Make navigation easy • Data from existing tools should be exportable (XML) • Remember the Goal: At-a-glance understanding of important metrics J.Shade: Visualization Ideas for Management Dashboards
