Abstract
The main intention of this paper is to introduce the proposition of a new role-based approach to self-healing monitoring. This is preceded by an overview of existing approaches to the monitoring of distributed systems using self-healing features. Starting with a discussion of autonomous monitoring systems, we will come to self-healing systems. These systems should be able to automatically resolve the problems that occur in a system under monitoring. The paper provides insight into various aspects of self-healing monitoring systems at the software and hardware level. A detailed description of a new agent-based system, AgeMon, is covered later on. The system is based on the roles played by different types of agents. The self-healing features can be achieved by a form of cooperation of agents, e.g. monitoring agents, rule agents, database agents. The paper discusses the roles and gives an implementation background.
