This BoF ran on June 30 and was led by Torsten Wilde (HPE) and Thomas Ilsche (TU Dresden / ZIH), together with co-organizers from LBNL, ORNL, and RIKEN. The session&rsquo;s premise was that HPC sites are largely reinventing the same monitoring stack, and that distilling the field into a small number of component choices could enable real collaboration.</p> <h2 id="why-this-matters">Why This Matters</h2> <p>For each core function of a monitoring framework, only a handful of technologies see real use (for example, Kafka, MQTT, and RabbitMQ for message passing), and each site repeats the same detailed analysis on which to pick. The session argued that the community could save significant effort by bundling this analysis into shared guidance and by identifying candidates for de-facto standardization.</p> <h2 id="outcome">Outcome</h2> <p>This BoF framed the problem that would recur in subsequent ODA sessions at SC22 and SC23: open data, interoperability, and standardization of monitoring data.</p>
