Description
The presented monitoring framework builds on the experience gained during the ATLAS
Data Challenge 2 and Rome physics workshop productions. During these previous
productions several independent monitoring tools were created. Although these tools
were created to some degree in isolation they provided a good degree of complementary
functionality and are taken as a basis for the current framework. One of the main
design goals of the current framework is to abstract the monitoring away from the
central database of jobs, thus reducing the impact which the monitoring has on the
production itself. Furthermore, the framework is aimed towards providing a common
monitoring environment which may be seen as a high level source of information
covering the 3 grid flavours used for ATLAS productions. The functionality of the
framework is described with attention being paid to design considerations and
implementation. The experience gained during the project is presented along with an
outlook towards future developments.
