Common use of Monitoring and Alerting Clause in Contracts

Monitoring and Alerting. System Nagios is an enterprise-class monitoring and alerting solution that provides extended insight of the infrastructure enabling quickly identification and resolution of problems before they may affect critical business processes. It provides monitoring of all mission- critical infrastructure components including applications, services, operating systems, network protocols, systems metrics, and network infrastructure. Nagios provides a central view of operations, network, and business processes running on the infrastructure. Powerful dashboards provide at-a-glance access to powerful monitoring information and third-party data. Views provide users with quick access to the information they find most useful. Spot problems easily with advanced data visualization reports. Moreover, alerts are sent to infrastructure managers and the Parthenos quality assurance task force via email or mobile text messages, providing them with outage details so they can start resolving issues immediately. Finally, multiple APIs provide for simple integration with in-house and third-party applications. In particular, for well-known technologies exploited in the PARTHENOS e-infrastructure, e.g. MongoDB, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Couchbase, PostgreSQL, etc, existing add-ons have been installed to extend monitoring and native alerting functionality; Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. It leverages widely used technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high concurrency. The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set of operating systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on thousands of clusters around the world.
