Towards a Generic Architecture for Interactive Cost-Aware Visualization of Monitoring Data in Distributed Systems
Noëlle Rakotondravony, Johannes Köstler, Hans P. Reiser · 2017
The collection of monitoring data in distributed systems can serve many different purposes, such as system status monitoring, performance evaluation, and optimization. There are many well-established approaches for data collection and visualization in these areas. For objectives such as debugging complex distributed applications, in-depth analysis of malicious attacks, and forensic investigations, the joint analysis and visualization of a large variety of data gathered at different layers of the system is of great value. The utilization of heavy-weight monitoring techniques requires a cost-aware on-demand activation of such monitoring.
