Abstract

Prospective cloud management requires sophisticated monitoring capabilities. In this paper, we introduce a novel monitoring framework for cloud-based workflow systems called cWorkload. cWorkload integrates monitoring information from different layers of the cloud architecture. The paper puts its focus on the two-layer monitoring regarding the workflow layer and the PaaS layer. We present the layered monitoring architecture, an implementation of the two-layer cross-monitoring part, and an experimental evaluation with sample workflow data. Further, we discuss related work on cloud monitoring divided into one-layer, multi-layer, and cross-layer approaches. Our plans for future work on extending the implementation by further layers towards a cross-layer, prospective monitoring for prospective cloud management are described.
