tirumal-
the simplest way to add new metrics is to use gmetric.
% gmetric --help
or read the documentation on gmetric. gmetric is a commandline tool that
creates a special multicast message and sends it to all hosts in the
cluster.
---
if you want to build in a custom metric, you will have to recompile gmond.
here is how to do it (all call the metric "pants" for this example).
1. cd ./gmond
2. open metric.h and add "pants" to the metric array (it is well
commented for help)
3. add the line
extern g_val_t pants(void)
to metric.h as well.
4. cd ./machines
5. add a function called "pants" in the file for your architecture...
e.g. "linux.c" or "hpux.c"
6. cd .. && make
good luck. ganglia 3 will allow you to create custom plugins that will
make this process easier.
