Description
Monitoring a large-scale computing facility is evolving from a passive to a more active
role in the LHC era, from monitoring the health, availability and performance of the
facility to taking a more active and automated role in restoring availability, updating
software and becoming a meta-scheduler for batch systems. This talk will discuss the
experiences of the RHIC and ATLAS U.S. Tier 1 Computing Facility at Brookhaven National
Lab in evaluating different monitoring software packages and how monitoring is being
used to improve efficiency and to integrate the facility with the Grid environment.
A monitoring model to link geographically dispersed, regional computer facilities which
can be used to improve efficiency and throughput will be presented as well.
