Facilitating overall grid environment management by monitoring and distributing grid activity

A system for managing workload within a grid environment, comprising:

• a grid workload controller implemented within a computational grid environment;
• said grid workload controller comprising:
• means for monitoring real-time grid activity at an application level from a plurality of disparate grid application environments within said computational grid environment;
• means for determining a selection of grid modules that require said real-time grid activity to make decisions about the management of said computational grid environment;
• and
• means for distributing said real-time grid activity to said selection of grid modules, wherein said selection of grid modules make automated decisions within said grid environment to maintain workload performance requirements within said computational grid environment.

A computer program product, residing on a computer readable medium, for managing workload within a grid environment, comprising:

• means for enabling monitoring of real-time grid activity at an application level from a plurality of disparate grid application environments within a computational grid environment;
• means for determining a selection of grid modules that require said real-time grid activity to make decisions about the management of said computational grid environment;
• and
• means for controlling distribution of said real-time grid activity to said selection of grid modules.
