Abstract

The proposal seeks to develop software and tools to automate management for the process of collecting, analyzing, and applying diverse performance information, and in so doing lead to the understanding of baseline performance behavior and failure conditions of distributed systems and applications. The tools will support the development of extended monitoring frameworks that enable the capture of performance data across the environment by using a set of sensors, or probes, widely deployed to gather basic data. The work will enable sensors to be managed and configured easily, so that the amount of data collected can be varied according to the situation. Sensors will be able to register into a common registry so that users can easily discover and select the sensors relevant to a specific application. Additional tools, such as archivers and prediction services, will be provided to store performance data and …
