Abstract
The diffusion of Web-based multimedia services and the emerging competition among service providers require to enrich the Internet infrastructure with mechanisms to manage and control service quality and availability. These goals require monitoring mechanisms that ascertain the state of resources and applications in the global distributed system, and that should be a core functionality of any infrastructure for Web service provision. The paper describes the design and the implementation of a Java-based Application Programming Interface (API) to monitor uniformly heterogeneous resources and systems over the Internet. The monitoring tool operates at different levels of abstraction. On the one hand, it can instrument the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to handle several types of events produced by Java applications. On the other hand, it can inspect the state of machine specific information (e.g., CPU and memory utilization) typically hidden by the JVM, and available via platform-dependent modules (currently developed for WindowsNT, Solaris and Linux). The implemented monitoring tool can be integrated in any Java-based Web service infrastructure and is currently part of the SOMA mobile agent platform. 1.
