Abstract :
We describe Fountain, an implementation of the scalable systems software node monitor specification targeted at aggregate node monitoring for clusters. Fountain is designed from the ground up as a hierarchical system with scalability in mind. It leverages widely used technologies such as XML and HTTP to present an interface to other components in the SSS environment. In this paper we describe the design choices of Fountain and discuss some preliminary performance measurements on medium sized clusters
