Monitoring of Distributed Computing Infrastructure in the VI-SEEM Project

In this paper we present an approach we have developed to monitor distributed and heterogeneous computing infrastructure with special attention to the implementation in the Virtual research environment for regional Interdisciplinary communities in Southeast Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean project (VI-SEEM). The project infrastructure covers a number of countries and administrative domains as well as several computing paradigms, from classic data center virtualization solutions to grid and high performance computing. We have collected and analyzed available data sources, designed data model and implemented the monitoring system suitable for monitoring of this complex infrastructure. To validate the proposed approach we have tested the system within VI-SEEM project and present the test results in this paper.
