Hi Lukasz:

Indeed, the old gridview monitors were broken by some of the SL5 migration changes (some of the libraries they depended on proved difficult to get to work in SL5). In principle, they were supposed to be replaced by the DPM nagios probes and the dmlite-profiler stuff (but I am not sure either of these have really resulted in a service that is as functional).

I should remove the old pages, of course.

Dear all,

I have recently found two pages on the GridPP wiki [1] that mention a DPM monitoring tool named Gridview [2]. However, the pages are quite old (instructions for SL4) and the project does not exist any more (at least the URL points to nothing).

Are there any more recent tools and recipes? What do you use to monitor DPM performance and status (transfer rates, # transfers per hour, health of instances, percentage of failures)?
Is anyone using dmlite-plugins-profiler [3] to extract information to Ganglia?
Is anyone using the DPM nagios probes (although not sure they will work with DMLite)?

I will send a similar email to DPM user list, this was mostly to notify about the out-of-date documentation on the GridPP wiki. However, if you do know the answers to any of the above, please let me know :).

Cheers,
Luke

PS: @T2 evolution: I wish there was one simple monitoring solution for all WLCG needs.
