1. D-MON TeamCGW 08 Adopting GLUE 2.0 for Interoperation of Grid Monitoring Systems Timo Baur, Rebecca Breu, Tobias Lindinger, Anne Milbert, Gevorg Pogoshyan, Mathilde Romberg

2. CGW 08 Outline Interoperability Grid Monitoring Scenario Integration Proxy Approach GLUE 2.0 for Schema Mediation Architecture Implementation Experiences Examples Lessons learned

3. CGW 08 Interoperability middleware architectures enable interoperable manageability of a Grid’s services for all vital components which need a cross-provider functionality usually one -and only one- middleware or management architecture Architecture constitutes finite technical border for component interaction components of multiple Grid projects do not interoperate on a technical level diverse spectrum of implementations multiple middlewares middleware-agnostic components caused by concurrent co-implementation of resources, services and components by multiple autonomous organizations differing understanding of Grid paradigm differing tastes, targets and realisation requirements differing standards, implementations, versions

4. CGW 08 Grid Monitoring Scenario to enable comprehensive operations and management –Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security –Grid Operation Centre, User Support, Scheduling D-Grid would require Grid-wide monitoring repositories on top of a broad spectrum of non-interoperable and heterogeneous monitoring services How can we realize this without regularly refactoring all components ?

5. CGW 08 Integration Proxy Approach Low intrusive adaptor modules –Process: Extract: connect to interfaces (XML) Transform: translate information models (XSLT) Load: upload data to repository (SQL) proxy repository –store data –possibility to federate database standardized data provisioning –for users (Webinterface) and services –possibility to feed integrated data back into source systems –support VO-specific views on data

6. CGW 08 Adopting GLUE 2.0 for Schema Mediation GLUE 2.0 –adequate information model for mediation of Grid resource and service monitoring data –describes a Grid‘s main characteristics: VO modelling (UserDomains) mapping and access policies –allocation of resources and services to VOs resource and service scenarios resource provider modeling (AdminDomains) –extendable –standardization (OGF draft) Schema A Schema B

8. CGW 08 Experiences data transformation, e.g. GLUE 1.1. -> GLUE 2.0 –not everything is mappable –differences in syntax and semantics –possible loss of information gathered and transformed most important data without loss of accuracy, e.g. –ComputingResources –ComputingServices –StorageResources our prototype provides VO specific views on the data –mappings of resources into VOs retrieved rom GRRS (Grid Resource Repository Service) –which acts as policy information base for VO resource management –accordingly generates AccessPolicies and database views

9. CGW 08 Examples ComputingService (DB) VO-specific View (OGSA-DAI)

10. CGW 08 Interpreting the Data unique Grid-wide IDs vital for statistics, efficient searches and scheduling organizational issue similar to AS, and IP adresses in the Internet common and large-scale Grid infrastructure requires common naming standards or policies clear policy decision points: „assigned numbers and names authority“ intgrated data allows for structural improvements of the monitored multi-Grid configurations e.g. Site-IDs may not be unique in all Grids

11. CGW 08 Lessons learned GLUE 2.0 fits well for resource and service monitoring in Grids monitoring gateways can be used to interoperably cache and exchange resource and service monitoring data views can be generated for different VOs.... thank you for your attention
