Research on Implementation of Grid Monitoring System Based on GMA

Grid technology opens the way to build collaborative environments that enable distributed multi-organizational teams to jointly use computing resources. Thus automatic resources/services discovery should be launched with the dynamicity of grid elements. Hardware and software failure can be found and solved in time by monitoring. Analyzing the gathered data could help to find performance bottleneck. In this paper, we analyzed the aims and main tasks of grid monitoring and the advantage of GMA (Grid monitoring Architecture), then proposed a Java-based design pattern of Grid Monitoring System (JGMS) on the basis of GMA. The JGMS uses special agents to complete the communication between producers and consumers in different grid nodes. So, it can work on different platforms, pass through firewalls and be easy to deploy and use.
