Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI Nov 8th 2007/ HEPIX / New WLCG Grid Service Monitoring Displays 29 Conclusions To improve reliability we need to: 1.Provide more information to site administrators –That relate to what users actually see when using their site  A lot of data already gathered, so if possible don’t do it again –Need to get it into the fabric monitoring system already used at a site –Nagios-based prototype validating the approach  Good feedback form early adoptors 2.Improve the visualization –Too much data - especially for central monitoring (~250 sites) –New techniques help to compress information and bring useful information into view (guest:guest)
