visPerf: Monitoring Tool for Grid Computing

摘要

It is difficult to see the status of a working production grid system without a customized monitoring system. Most grid middleware provide simple system monitoring tools, or simple tools for checking system status. visPerf is a general purpose grid monitoring tool for visualizing, investigating, and controlling the system in a distributed manner. visPerf is a system based on a distributed monitoring sensor, visSensor, in which the sensor uses methods to monitor the status of grid middleware with little or no modifications to the underlying system.
