Description
Grid is emerging as a great computational resource but its dynamic behaviour makes
the Grid environment unpredictable. System failure or network failure can occur or
the system performance can degrade. So once the job has been submitted monitoring
becomes very essential for user to ensure that the job is completed in an efficient
way. In current environments once user submits a job he loses direct control over
the job, system behaves like a batch system, user submits the job and gets the
result back. Only information a user can obtain about a job is whether it is
scheduled, running, cancelled or finished. This information is enough from the Grid
management point of view but not from the point of view of a user. User wants
interactive environment in which he can check the progress of the job, obtain
intermediate results, terminate the job based on the progress of job or intermediate
results, steer the job other nodes to achieve better performance and check the
resources consumed by the job. So a mechanism is needed that can provide user with
secure access to information about different attributes of a job. In this paper we
describe a monitoring service, a java based web service that will provide secure
access to different attributes of a job once a job has been submitted to Interactive
Grid Analysis Environment.
