This is a simple web based interface to dynamically query the PlanetLab status using MON. You can input the desired queries and see their execution results. Note a session command must precede any status query comands.

The details of the SQL-like query language is available at the MON Usage page. For more general information about MON please refer to the MON project.

NOTE to create a session/on-demand overlay, the MON client (or the CGI program for the web interface) needs to first contact some MON server. By default this is planetlab2.cs.uiuc.edu. However, if the machine is down, or if MON is not running on the machine, you can always pre-pend a "server" command before the "session" command. E.g., "server planetlab1.cs.uiuc.edu:6024". How to find out which machines MON is running on? -- check out the CoMon webpage for the slice uiuc_mon
