Monitoring and Infrastructure Integration Middleware

This is a preliminary release of the PHANTOM monitoring framework. The framework offers a set of tools and services for collection and centralized analysis of a broad scope of metrics that characterize the state of the hardware resources (utilization, overall energy consumption, etc.) as well as of the applications (performance, application-specific energy consumption, etc.) over the time. The framework is used by the PHANTOM Multi-Objective Scheduler (MOM) for elaborating the optimal resource allocation strategies for the applications as well as by the end-users of the applications in order to evaluate the performance characteristics and optimize the infrastructure utilization. The framework also hosts a resource management service that fosters the collection, publishing, and setting the status of the controlled infrastructure devices.

The following components are included in the release:
o Monitoring server
o Monitoring client
o Resource management service
