This work presents ANEMONA: A language for programming NEtwork MONitoring Applications. The compilation of an ANEMONA program generates code for configuring a policy repository and the corresponding policy deployment and event monitoring. The language allows the definition of expressions of managed objects that are monitored, as well as triggers that when fired may indicate the occurrence of associated events, which are also defined by the language. A translator for the language was implemented that generates code for configuring both the policy repository and deployment. The current implementation of the language employs the Expression MIB and Event MIB. Experimental results are presented, including an ANEMONA program that detects TCP Syn Flooding attacks, and a program for detecting steep variations in the utilization of monitored links.
