OSLC Performance Monitoring Community Group Proposed

The OSLC Performance Monitoring Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

The goal of this effort is to define a common set of resources, formats
and RESTful services for the use in monitoring products and use by
lifecycle tools, such as operations, applications, and product.  The
need for this workgroup is further driven by web operations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_operations .
Monitoring resources define the data about entities like applications,
computer systems, storage volumes, etc. commonly used to observe a
coarse-grained summary of their state, e.g. their self-reported health. 
Some monitoring tools collect hundreds or more individual metrics about
a range of resources, it is NOT our intent to reproduce that work in all
its richness and detail.  Only the subset needed to satisfy the in-scope
scenarios will be included in the resource definitions, i.e. the subset
that most/all tools would be able to provide and that participants can
readily agree on.  The approach will be to define a small number of
tightly constrained scenarios, address those by drafting specifications,
collect implementation experience using those drafts, and then close
(finalize) those specifications.  This will decrease the barrier to
sharing monitored data across multiple vendors and tools as part of the
Operations Lifecycle.  Future iterations of that process may be used to
address additional scenarios and resource types.

Once the group has a total of five supporters, W3C launch the group
and people can join to begin work.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires
the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
site-comments@w3.org.

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
