+The monitoring component of Check in pluginable. Check does not internally store monitoring infomation, but uses other monitoring suites to provide these services. In this case, we use a !MonAlisa service. This service is used to store and graph data for large amounts of time. Check plugs itself as a resource into the Resource Directory and can be used by any service by using a rest interface to register new nodes and parameters to monitor.
+
+=== Software Requirements === 
+
+Installing this component requires the following software:
+ * Java 6 (http://java.sun.com)
+ * !MonAlisa Service (http://monalisa.cern.ch) to monitor sensors
+ * !MonAlisa Repository (http://monalisa.cern.ch) to store data for long periods of time and register new nodes to be monitored
+
+=== Project Organization === 
+
+If you have access to the Source Code Repository the code resides in the ''/management'' directory.
+
+ * '''/SenseiRepos''' - !ML Repository files and configuration
+ * '''/SenseiService''' - Monitoring Plugins
+ * '''/SenseiHibernate''' - Rest Monitoring Interface for Check (must be moved here)
+
+=== Compiling the plugins === 
+
+For '''SenseiService''', copy it to ''${MONALISA_HOME}/Service/usr_code/SenseiService''.
+To compile, use 
+{{{
+compile.sh
+}}}
+
+To use a dry run, use 
+{{{
+run_test.sh
+}}}
+
+=== Running the plugins === 
+
+To enable the monitoring plugins you must configure the service like this. First enable the check monitoring plugins:
+{{{
+#!sh
+#
+# Properties to add
+#
+lia.Monitor.CLASSURLs=file:${MonaLisa_HOME}/Service/usr_code/SenseiService/build/
+}}}
+
+Available plugins are:
+ * monSensei - monitors resources using REST. The resources to monitor are given by the REST interface of Check
+ * monPing6 - monitors the status of a node by pinging it through IPv6 ping
+ * monService - checks the availability of the a service
+
+Now we must enable them:
+{{{
+#!sh
+#
+# To add in myFarm.conf
+#
+*Topology
+>gw.ncit.pub.ro
+monPing%60
+}}}
+
+=== Demo ===
+
+The data is stored in a local database for three hours. For long term storage we use a dedicated database, see '''SenseiRepos''' trunk.
