Monitoring applications once they are in the user community
Once an application is released into the user community, obtaining prompt and high quality information on application usage, applicability and reliability can be a challenge. Most Linux and Solaris applications used at RHIC and associated accelerators have been instrumented so that application and crash information is gathered, stored and forwarded to the appropriate developer for immediate analysis. To support this process, databases were created to track developer and application information. In order to keep these databases relevant, a web based application release procedure was created to collect information and automatically update the database. Additional capabilities have been developed that utilize and expand on the various components of this system to promote communication between developers and users, and to monitor applications. An application feedback feature allows users to instantly communicate with application developers. An application history system records application usage and reliability.
