Regarding the monitoring tool, we have discussed the following:

We are considering three levels of monitoring according to the
resource type, namely the physical infrastructure, the virtual
machines and the grid services. Monitoring information in the case of
physical infrastructure and virtual machines will be gathered and
visualized by utilizing standard cluster monitoring tools which will
be integrated with the monitoring module of OpenNebula. As a proof of
concept, we will utilize the Ganglia monitoring tool. We will extend
the ganglia monitoring tool with virtual-machine related metrics and
we are going to modify opennebula to get its monitoring information
from the ganglia api. Regarding the monitoring of grid services, we
will utilize already existing grid-monitoring tools.

Regarding the accounting tool, we have discussed the following:

We are going to utilize and extend the Accounting Toolset of
OpenNebula in order to keep track of resources spent by each cloud
user. The resources which are of interest include the total number of
virtual machines per user, the total number of cpu cores, the total
ram, the storage space and the network bandwidth
consumption. Regarding the policies that will be used to regulate
usage, we are considering to apply quotas per user, and different user
types.

In the next demo, we are going to do the following:

- install the ganglia tool which will monitor the physical
  infrastructure
- extend ganglia to acquire virtual machine related information by
  implementing the appropriate probes which will talk with the
  hypervisors.
