Abstract
Ganglia [1] is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. We propose an improved Ganglia-like clusters monitoring system, which has more reliability with federation node and associated link failures; some monitoring data is accessed by permission; adding control functions such as restart or shutdown confusion processes; send email or pager to cluster administrator when important event occurs; and optionally select some data to federation node based on user policy in order to speedup the WAN access. We have implemented a prototype system.
This research was supported by Guangdong Key Laboratory of Computer Network under grant 2002B60113.
