CMS Remote Monitoring at Fermilab

The recent activities for remote monitoring operations at Fermilab are described the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is in the commissioning stages of the data acquisition, trigger, sub-detector and data transfer systems, and it is vital that a coherent and effective monitoring system be developed for the experts as well as local and remote shift crews. The experiences and contributions of the Fermilab participation in the first CMS global data taking with vertical slices of several sub-detectors using cosmic rays during the Magnet Test and Cosmic Challenge are presented. The involvement from Fermilab in the Hadronic Calorimeter Test Beam and the Tracker Slice Test operations and monitoring are detailed. Also discussed are some general monitoring tools being developed at Fermilab such as Web-based monitoring and the screen snapshot service.
