I have just committed some work I have been doing recently on gmetad.
The version currently in cvs supports interactive requests on port
8652. I plan to adapt the webfrontend to take advantage of this new
mode for much higher performance soon.
As an example of the interactive capabilities, if you have the clusters
"Onyx" and "Heron", these queries are possible:
$ telnet localhost 8652
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
/Onyx
[will return only the Onyx cluster portion of the XML tree]
$ telnet localhost 8652
/Onyx?filter=summary
[will return a summary of the Onyx cluster]
$ telnet localhost 8652
/Heron
[will return only the Heron cluster subtree]
$ telnet localhost 8652
/
[will return the full tree]
$ telnet localhost 8652
/?filter=summary
...etc...
I have included a backwards compatibility flag in the config file to
bring gmetad's behavior back to version 2.5.0 - no grids. Also, the
polling interval bug in conf.c is fixed.
Enjoy,
