Grid Monitoring and Data Visualization1

Abstract. 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 lauched 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. Grid monitoring stores static and dynamic data. This article stresses on the Grid monitoring and data visualization scheme. Later the improvements of Grid applications and services are proposed
