Hi all, this is a reminder about the special session entitled "*Experiences with OCCI*" that we want to schedule during Closer 2016 (Rome, April 23-25 2016). The deadline for paper submission expires on February 10. If you want to report and discuss about an adoption, or propose a new application, you still have more than three weeks to put it on paper and send to us. All relevant infos are now on Closer site in a dedicated page <http://closer.scitevents.org/OCCI.aspx>, or in our flier <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1327309/Closer_OCCI_2016.pdf>.

** REMINDER: Special SAJACC group call Tuesday March 29, 3:00 pm EDT / 2:00 pm CDT / 12:00 noon PDT ** ---------- Dear NIST SAJACC working group members and related groups, You are invited to attend a SAJACC group meeting to discuss comparisons of the OCCI version 1.1 and CIMI v1.2 standards-based API call sequences and OpenStack native API conducted by Mahesh Gurram. This comparison has been carried out using the methodologies resulting in Phase I and Phase II of the SAJACC project and could serve as a pilot and example for future tests of cloud services, standards and API comparisons using the SAJACC use case documentation methods. Mahesh has conducted this work as part of a Masters Degree project at Texas Tech University, with the hope that it will serve as a template for future work going forward. The meeting will take place Tuesday, March 29 at 3:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time. Join by Skype for Business at https://meet.ttu.edu/alan.sill/GUOS7M0P (Note the first round character in this sequence is an O as in "oh", and the second one is a zero.) Select the "join as guest" option and type your name to enter in order to see the slides. Or join by phone +1 (855) 834-4888 - Toll-free Conference ID: 8519016 Depending on interest from the group, the testbeds being used to conduct these comparisons can be made available for further similar SAJACC testing. We will discuss the technologies used for this work being made available by the National Science Foundation through its CloudLab and Chameleon projects and the NIST-oriented public work being conducted by the NSF Cloud and Autonomic Computing Center on behalf of NIST and other center members. Please join early if you can in order to establish the Skype for Business web connection.

Questions about OCCI Monitoring
by Vincent ZURCZAK 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi, I have questions about OCCI Monitoring. I read the specifications [0] and the Slideshare's presentation [1] of Augusto Ciuffoletti. I would like some clarifications, just be sure I understand correctly the scope of this specification. In the same way than OCCI Infrastructure provides an API to create infrastructure resources (virtual machines, network configurations...), OCCI Monitoring allows to configure probes and measures collection. So, assuming I have a model of OCCI resources associated with the following Software architecture... ... that is to say machines, network and storage resources (IaaS), applicative resources (web server, application server, database - and assuming I wrote OCCI extensions for them), then OCCI Monitoring would allow me to configure their monitoring through a single (REST) API. One API to configure the monitoring of several cloud layers / providers. So far, so good, right? What is not clear to me for the moment is the following. Does this API also allow to request directly a sensor? Assuming I have a sensor that collect CPU usage, is it this same API that can give me the probe's value (i.e. the CPU usage at this specific moment)? This is not the same question than "can I implement a sensor / collector / publisher that makes my monitoring data available through a REST service" (to this, the answer is definitely yes). For what I understand, the answer is no. OCCI Monitoring is about monitoring configuration, not about monitoring itself. An API that implements OCCI Monitoring is not an API that exposes a probe as a REST service (or at least, it is not its spirit). This has the great advantage of letting users keep the rendering / analyzing tools they want. I was also wondering whether there were real implementations of OCCI Monitoring. I saw Augusto will present "Beyond Nagios - Design of a cloud monitoring system" in Rome, in April. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend it. What level of maturity does it have? Best regards, Vincent.
