We describe SANTA-G (Grid-enabled System Area Networks Trace Analysis), an instrument monitoring framework that uses the RGMA (Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture). We describe the CanonicalProducer, the component that allows for instrument monitoring, and how it would be used to construct the basis of a Grid-wide intrusion detection system. 1 The R-GMA The Grid Monitoring Architecture (GMA) [2] of the Global Grid Forum (GGF), as shown in Figure 1, consists of three components: Consumers, Producers and a directory service, which in the R-GMA is referred to as a Registry.
