The new perf SONAR and EGI Multidomain monitoring

(The new) perf. SONAR and EGI: Multi-domain monitoring for distributed GRID environment Domenico Vicinanza, DANTE EGI Operations Management Board, Amsterdam, 24 -25 January 2011 connect • communicate • collaborate

Outline The new perf. SONAR and EGI Component List perf. SONAR Future Steps connect • communicate • collaborate

The new perf. SONAR (1/2) Since past eight months perf. SONAR is undergoing a major restructuring What’s new: Use-case driven design – User-centric rather then technology-centric Improved testing ( improved quality) – New, open, shared testing policies and results Agile/Scrum based software development – Fast release cycles (3 months) Product management function – To act as an user advocate and make sure to correctly steer the development New website being designed First (new) perf. SONAR release foreseen for Spring 2011 connect • communicate • collaborate

The new perf. SONAR (2/2) Interoperability with US and Canada network monitoring New perf. SONAR designed around interoperability principles, enabling: – intercontinental network troubleshooting in multi-domain environment, – Dynamic circuit monitoring and – SLA verification Closer interaction with the user community User panel to provide feedback and input to continuously improve the produce connect • communicate • collaborate

EGI infrastructure lives in a Multi-Domain network environment WN 1 UI CE WN 2 Domain 3 WN 3 Domain 1 Others domains RB WMS Domain 2 SE Domain 4 connect • communicate • collaborate

Why perf. SONAR for EGI? (1/2) GRID computing in a geographically distributed environment is based on efficient, reliable networking Naturally multi-domain: EGI spans multiple network domains perf. SONAR allow to seamlessly cover multiple network domains Open EGI may choose to install what they really need for their troubleshooting EGI may develop high-level tools using perf. SONAR (APIs) perf. SONAR speaks a standard, open protocol Web-service based Flexible access to network measurements Free perf. SONAR is provided without any fee Natural fits in any open GRID business model connect • communicate • collaborate

Why perf. SONAR for EGI? (2/2) Good service monitoring infrastructure Enabling proactive monitoring of critical links among GRID components (CEs, SEs, WMS/RBs, …) Making ENOC able to intervene to detect deteriorations before disruption. Good support GÉANT Application Service Desk referred as quick and effective by the majority of users connect • communicate • collaborate

List of perf. SONAR functionalities interesting for EGI Functionality or metric provided GRID Node-Node Link availability Available bandwidth (To calculate weights for Resource Broker) One Way Delay and Jitter (To determine GRID Node-Node Link quality and to calculate weights for the Resource Broker) Measurement Points Discovery perf. SONAR component E 2 EMon MP RRDMA Historical: BWCTL MA On-demand: BWCTL MP Historical: HADES MA On-demand: To be developed LS (To be able to determine what CEs, SEs, RBs are perf. SONAR enables and able to deliver network measurements) Authentication/Authorization AS (Ideally based on X 509 Certificates) X 509 compliance: To be developed perf. SONAR User Interfaces perfsonar.

Next steps Developing the missing components and delivering the missing functionalities New development strategy based on Agile/Scrum and new testing strategy in place perf. SONAR APIs Input from EGI is important here perf. SONAR Hands On tutorials and training this includes self-paced training connect • communicate • collaborate

Thanks!!! perf. SONAR. The multi-domain solution. Be part of it. connect • communicate • collaborate
