Problem of Application Job Monitoring in GRID Systems

Modern HEP experiments require generation of huge flow of simulated MC events. The flow is divided into bunches that are generated separately. The GRID technology is supposed to use for MC simulation.

The generation of each bunch of events requires significant CPU time. Therefore, the problem of monitoring of the status of application and supply user by some important information about the process of generation is very important. Current GRID implementation does not provide functionality to on-line job status monitoring and summarizing information.

We propose the software transparently expands standard EGD GRID software to meet these requirements and also adds user-friendly WEB interface to obtain this information. Also the software does net violates security and the other GRID functionality. Some usage examples are shown.
