Hello, since you are an ALICE group I guess that you should follow the instructions in the ALICE site: http://alien.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/AliEn/HowToInstallXrootdNew For an ALICE site the monitoring comes already pre-configured as far as you have a vobox, and you get the storage information of your site from the central Monalisa pages.
