== server + services monitoring ==

 * nagios: http://www.nagios.org/
 * icinga (nagios fork, same format for plugins etc): https://www.icinga.org/
 * clients/remote servers will need to have the Nagios NRPE package (only for local checks like diskspace, mem etc) and port 5666 open


== AAI monitoring ==

 * AAI eye: http://www.csc.fi/english/institutions/haka/instructions/services-tech/aaieye
 * RAPTOR: http://iam.cf.ac.uk/trac/RAPTOR
 * IDS: https://trac.clarin.eu/browser/monitoring/plugins/ids

== MPI services monitoring ==

 * see: https://trac.clarin.eu/browser/monitoring/plugins/mpi (includes SRU/CQL and OAI-PMH probe)

== CLARIN-D monitoring requirements ==

The monitoring requirements of CLARIN-D are pretty modest - a simple icinga or nagios installation would be sufficient to fullfill all the needs:

 * regular checks if hosts are up and reachable (ping)
 * regular checks if certain network services are working (e.g. http)
 * Each center can provide [http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html nagios plugins] to assess the state of that center's services. 
 * Each center can register one or more contact persons. They will get an email with a warning if a host or service is not working correctly.
 * The server running the monitoring software is also monitored itself.
 * Users (not only the center administrators) should be able to see the status of each center and its service(s) on a website.
 * For access to the web interface of icinga/nagios authentication & authorization via shibboleth would be nice.
 * As visualisation a map of germany under http://de.clarin.eu/status 
   - with traffic light alarm indication (?) maybe [http://www.laendercheck-wissenschaft.de/archiv/privater_hochschulsektor/status_quo/status_quo_deutschlandkarte.jpg like this] (?) 
   - with graphs to see how long or how often services have been unavailable in the past? Via link to nagios?
