Introduction to Monitoring URL
NI4OS-Europe uses ARGO Monitoring service to monitor status, availability and reliability of a wide range of services. For more information follow the link.

URL
Information Feeds URL
Monitoring Service uses various feeds of supplementary information such as Topology info (to establish hierarchical relationships between the monitored services), Downtimes and Weights. For more information follow the link.

URL
Metrics URL
An infrastructure may offer various services. These services need to be checked periodically in order to decide their operational state. The various functionalities of a given service are checked by metrics (a chunk of code). For more information follow the link.

URL
Aggregations URL
An aggregation profile defines how to aggregate service flavour statuses into higher hierarchical grouping (i.e. a service_group) status results. They are actually used to define logical rules on how to aggregate individual status computations into groups. For more information follow the link.

URL
Operation Profile URL
Description In many cases we need to provide results for top level items that are being monitored. For example if a database service is offered that relies on 2 different hosts, then we need to present a timeline with the status of the service offering itself during the day. To do that we need to combine appropriately the status timelines observed for the hosts. For more information follow the link.

URL
Reports URL
The Monitoring Service is checking the services at regular intervals. It actually runs explicit tests (checks) in order to assess the status of the service. Based on these checks it can create a number of different reports. For more information follow the link.

2. ARGO Monitoring
Measuring and Monitoring the Availability and Reliability of Electronic Infrastructures
The electronic infrastructure availability / reliability monitoring service is designed for Service Level Monitoring, for medium and large infrastructures. It monitors the status, availability and reliability of services provided by electronic infrastructures with moderate to high complexity. It supports flexible development models and modular design, allowing easy communication with external systems (such as CMDBs, Service Catalogs, etc.).
The service allows the creation of multiple reports using profiles (profiles are different ways and filters of organizing and displaying the services and their service components), which are defined by the client (e.g. for managing SLAs, operations, etc.). When calculating reports (using big data management technologies) the service takes into account a number of external factors, such as specific service parameters, scheduled or unscheduled downtime, etc.
