This white paper is aimed at creating a directory of existing performance monitoring and evaluation tools. The detailed categorization enables finding relevant properties, similarities and differences, and comparing the tools. The paper is neutral: there are no comments or assessment. The catalogue helps grid users, developers, and administrators in finding an appropriate tool according to their requirements. The white paper is intended to be updated by the APART community until the end of the APART-2 project and possibly beyond. Grid monitoring and performance analysis tool developers are supposed to check the categorization of their product and modify it if they find anything incorrect in our classification. Moreover, they are expected to send update messages of new versions and prototypes and the white paper will be updated accordingly. Finally, feedback about practical experiences learned from deploying and testing these tools are intended to be added to the paper in the future so that it will show a real classification among development trends.
