Abstract
To analyze the usage information of system and network resources to the each grid application by measuring the real time traffic and calculating the statistic information, we suggested the kernel-based monitoring methods by researching the efficient monitoring method. This method use small system resourcesand measure the monitoring information accurately with less delay than the usual packet capture methods such as tcpdump. Also we implemented the monitoring systems which can monitor the used resources of system and network for grid application using the suggested kernel-based monitoring method. This research can give the useful information to the development of grid application and to grid network scheduler which can assign the proper resources to the grid application to perform efficiently. Network administrator can decide whether the expansion of network is required or not using the monitoring information.
