Abstract: |
Job monitoring in Grid systems presents an important challenge because Grid environments are volatile, heterogeneous, not reliable and are managed by different middleware and monitoring tools. We present the infrastructure that we have designed and implemented in the HPC-Europa European project, which allows uniform access to job-monitoring information from different Virtual Organisations (VOs). The presented system introduces the user to the complexities of the underlying systems of each middleware. The API that each centre has to implement for providing access to its job-monitoring information is explained. Finally, we show all the features that a user can use in the portal to personalise his/her monitoring environment, i.e., to choose how and which information has to be presented. |
