FIRE-GENI MeetingWashington D.C., September 2015

FELIX Monitoring System (MS)

• Overview– Monitoring the slice(s) dynamically provisioned over the FELIX testbed

• Cooperates with the Resource Orchestrator (RO) for overall view– Hierarchical structure in a manner same as RO

• Master MS (MMS): Hierarchical at upper level (e.g. the continent level)– Collecting all monitoring data from distributed MS

• MS: Distributed, deployed at each island– Gathering the monitoring data of the island and aggregating to MMS

Components of (M)MS

• Topology API– Accept the topology information of the

physical/slice subject to the monitoring– Provide it to external entities– Proprietary API (REST)

• Monitoring Data Collector– Gathering the monitoring data from the actual

infra. Monitoring tools.• ex) perfSONAR, Zabbix, SNMP tools

– Aggregating and forwarding the data• MS to MMS• between MMS

• Monitoring API– Accept the monitoring data from external

entities– Provide it to external entities – Proprietary API (REST)

Monitoring GUI on Expedient

End-User Tools for Monitoring

• GUI for monitoring – Displaying the monitoring data with the

physical and slice topology– It retrieves the data through

Topology/Monitoring API of MS – GUI is extend of the expedient which is the

client GUI tool of slice management.
