Inca Grid Monitors:

Inca is a centralized monitoring system that periodically runs tests against each of the resources in the TeraGrid and reports them in a color-coded display so that users can see in near real-time if there are any problems that might interfere with their workflow.

"Inca detects Grid infrastructure problems by executing periodic, automated, user-level testing of Grid software and services. It emulates a grid user by . . . executing tests using a standard GSI credential. . . Data is collected by reporters, executables that measure some aspect of the system." -- from User-Level Grid Monitoring Inca software Web site
