ABSTRACT:
A system for performing autonomic monitoring in a computing grid is described. The system includes a plurality of modules, which when implemented into a computing grid, are operable to analyze objects of the grid and identify exception conditions associated with the objects. The system includes a configuration module for receiving information on specified objects to be monitored and exception conditions for the objects, an information collection module to collect job execution data associated with the objects, and an exception module to evaluate the job execution data associated with the objects and identify existing exception conditions. Related methods of performing autonomic monitoring in a grid system are also described.
