Towards Distributed Monitoring and Performance Analysis Services in the K-WfGrid Project

The complexity and the dynamics of the Grid environment and of the emering workflow-based applications on the Grid require novel performance monitoring and analysis services in order to capture monitoring data at multiple f abstraction, to analyze the data and to correlate metrics among entities. In this paper, we present the design of distributed monitoring and performance analysis services in the K-WfGrid project. We give an overview of the architecture of the performance and monitoring services and discuss useful performance and dependability metrics for workflows in K-WfGrid. We describe basic system components including the monitoring and instrumentation service, the performance analysis service along with data representation and service interface.
