1. MAGGIE Monitoring and Analysis for the Global Grid and Internet End-to-end performance Warren Matthews (SLAC) Presented at the Measurement SIG ESCC/Internet2 Techs Workshop. Lawrence, Kansas, August 3-7, 2003.

2. 2 What is MAGGIE? MAGGIE –Measurement and Analysis for the Global Grid and Internet End-to-end performance A proposal for a monitoring infrastructure for network/grid management –DoE/MICS –Worldwide HENP/Grid Closely related to e2epi and PIPES

3. 3 Toward a Monitoring Infrastructure Certainly the need –DOE Science Community –Grid –Troubleshooting –E2Epi has recognized the need. Many of the ingredients –Many monitoring projects, Many tools –PIPES

4. 4 Network Management “Unfortunately, network management research has historically been very under- funded, because it is difficult to get funding bodies to recognize this as legitimate networking research.” Sally Floyd IAB Concerns & Recommendations Regarding Internet Research & Evolution. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-research-funding-00.txt

10. 10 Analysis Engine Publishing –Usual method is on the web –Too much to view frequently, Time delay (resolve problem before user complains) Alarm System based on based Web/Grid Service –GGF NMWG Schema Detect performance hits without human intervention Find location of fault as a starting point –PIPES contact database

11. 11 TroubleshootingTroubleshooting RIPE-TT Testbox alarm –Rolling average (morning-afternoon- evening-night) AMP Automatic Event Detection –Mean and variance Our approach is diurnal changes –Median and standard deviation of measurements on Monday 7pm-8pm

12. 12 Case Study Iperf measurements between SLAC and Internet2 office in Ann Arbor. Determine base line. What should be considered a performance hit. If you don’t measure, you don’t know (Kevin Walsh)

20. 20 ConclusionConclusion Not a network problem! Systematic error Competing periodic test/transfer Fix it! What if I don’t/can’t? Users will hit this even if I move the test

22. 22 Concern Threshold (ctresh ) Median – 1 std dev Alarm Threshold (atresh) Median – 2 std dev Concern Alarm Calm Long Term

23. 23 Calm Concern Alarm

24. 24 To be continued … Determine statistics for all end-to-end pairs Long-term (all data), Medium term (last 30 days) and Short term (last 5 measurements) Not manually.

25. 25 Next Steps Continue publishing Web/Grid Services –GGF/NMWG Workshop Parameters for Autoshooting NetRat (fault finding) Monalisa (visualization) –IEPM-BW is plugged in, also w/service interface Advisor Funding for MAGGIE
