Implementation of secure customized monitoring tool for adapative distributed systems

In the direction of cram the monitoring systems and identifying parameters that can be monitored with or without encrypting the data in an Adaptive Distributed System (ADS) which changes dynamically in the real time environment. By knowing the parameters the system can work more effectively by doing the necessary changes. The two problems that are addressed here are monitoring a system and collecting data necessary for adaptation, may cause security problems. In this paper we are addressing customized monitoring tool with the help of two modules. One of the module is System Under Study(SUS), a node in a distributed system; which sets the security level of its parameters like IP Address, Host-ID etc. and in turn it gives the permissions for monitoring same with or without encryption. Other module is Network Monitoring Tool(NMT), a monitoring node in a distributed system; gets the different parameters of SUS in encrypted format or unencrypted format depending on the security level set by SUS and decrypt its values for the purpose of adaptation in the distributed systems.
