> The goal of this workgroup is to define a common set of resource 
definitions
> and RESTful services that can be used by lifecycle tools such as 
operational
> dashboards, applications, and products to monitor resources. The need 
for 
> this workgroup is further driven by web operations

> Monitored resource definitions define the data about entities like 
> applications, computer systems, storage volumes, etc. commonly used to 
> observe a coarse-grained summary of a monitored resource's state, e.g. 
its 
> 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.
> 
> The initial focus will be on application monitoring. This is a key 
resource 
> type today. There are many other areas of monitoring that could be 
covered 
> in the future such as storage, network, computer system, etc. The 
workgroup 
> will be led by Pratik Gupta and Julianne Bielski.
