  3. Monitoring Requirements • Global view of the entire distributed system • Non-intrusive • Accurate • Providing • Near real-time information • Long-term history of aggregated data • On key parameters like • System status • Resource usage • Helping with • Correlating events • System debugging • Generating reports • Taking automated actions based on the monitored data Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

Job Resource Usage Monitoring • Cumulative parameters • CPU Time & CPU KSI2K • Wall time & Wall KSI2K • Read & written files • Input & output traffic (xrootd) • Running parameters • Resident memory • Virtual memory • Open files • Workdir size • Disk usage • CPU usage • Aggregated per site Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

  12. Job Network Traffic Monitoring • Based on the xrootd transfer from every job • Aggregated statistics for • Sites (incoming, outgoing, site to site, internal) • Storage Elements (incoming, outgoing) • Of • Read and written files • Transferred MB/s Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

  13. Individual Job Tracking • Based on AliEn shell cmds. • top, ps, spy, jobinfo, masterjob • Using the GUI ML Client • Status, resource usage, per job Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

  14. AliEn & LCG Services Monitoring • AliEn services • Periodically checked • PID check + SOAP call • Simple functional tests • SE space usage • Efficiency • LCG environment and tools • Integrating the VoBOX tests previously run by ML within the SAM framework • Proxy lifetime, gsiscp, LCG CE/SE, Job submission, BDII, Local catalog, software area etc. • Error messages in case of failure • Efficiency • ML Alerts are used for problems notification • .

  15. FTD/FTS Monitoring • Status of the transfers • Transfer rates • Success/failures • Efficiency via ARDA Experiment Dashboard Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

  16. VOBox/Head Node Monitoring • Machine parameters, real-time & history • Load, memory & swap usage, processes, sockets Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

  17. Traffic Jobs Hosts Apps ML Service Actions based on global information ML Repository Actions based on local information Temperature Humidity A/C Power … ML Service Sensors Local decisions Global decisions Actions Framework • Based on monitoring information, actions can be taken in • ML Service • ML Repository • Actions can be triggered by • Values above/below given thresholds • Absence/presence of values • Correlation between multiple values • Possible actions types • Alerts • e-mail • Instant messaging • RSS Feeds • External commands • Event logging Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

  18. Alerts and Actions MySQL daemon is automatically restarted when it runs out of memory Trigger: threshold on VSZ memory usage ALICE Production jobs queue is automatically kept full by the automatic resubmission Trigger: threshold on the number of aliprod waiting jobs Administrators are kept up-to-date on the services’ status Trigger: presence/absence of monitored information Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch

  19. Summary • The MonALISA framework is used as a primary monitoring tool for the ALICE Grid since 2004 • Presently the system is used for monitoring of all (identified) services, jobs and network parameters necessary for the Grid operation and debugging • The number of concurrently monitored and stored parameters today is ~ 300.000 in 75 ML Services • The add-on tools for automatic events notification allow for more efficient reaction to problems • The framework design and flexibility answers all requirements for a monitoring system • The accumulated information allows to construct and implement automated decision making algorithms, thus increasing further the efficiency of the Grid operations Catalin.Cirstoiu@cern.ch
