Description
ALICE is one of the experiments under installation at CERN Large Hadron Collider,
dedicated to the study of Heavy-Ion Collisions. The final ALICE Data Acquisition
system has been installed and is being used for the testing and commissioning of
detectors. Data Quality Monitoring
(DQM) is an important aspect of the online procedures for a HEP experiment. In this
presentation we overview the architecture, implementation and usage experience of
ALICE's AMORE (Automatic MOnitoRing Environment), a distributed application aimed to
collect, analyze, visualize and store monitoring data in a large, experiment wide
scale. AMORE is executed interfaced to the DAQ software framework (DATE) and follows
the publish-subscribe paradigm where a large number of batch processes execute
detector-specific analysis on raw data samples and publish monitoring results on
specialized servers. Clients connected to these servers have the ability to
correlate, further analyze and visualize the monitoring data. Provision is taken to
archive the most important results so that historic plots can be produced.
