The accelerated development in grid computing has positioned it as a promising next generation computing platform. It enables the creation of virtual organizations (VO) for sharing resources distributed across the world. In order to address complex resource monitors and management issues we have proposed architecture for autonomous grid node agent which is based on grid monitoring architecture (GMA). Currently many grid monitoring software use SNMP which is not flexible as it does not provide publish subscribe model, filtering of the monitored data and does not support push model for monitoring parameters thus generating lot of unwanted network traffic. Our proposed architecture is based on GMA so it provides all these functionalities. We argue that our proposed architecture is autonomous as it provides functionality of equality, locality and self-containment in all MoGiNMA implementations (sub-systems). Equality, locality and self-containment are main components of autonomic controllability in any sub system as part of autonomous distributed system (ADS). We are carrying out the implementation of the proposed system. Our preliminary results show some performance constraints. The overall concept can lead towards autonomous resource management in dynamic systems like grid. We argue that the proposed system will provide strong foundation that lead towards autonomic computing realization environment.
