Does anyone know how to go about estimating ganglia disk requirements assuming one knows the number of nodes and the number of metrics per node? It looks like we use about 12k per-metric per-node plus some summary info. Is this alwasy the case?
I'm thinking about this because I'm looking at adding support to the FreeBSD startup script for more or less automatic handling of memory files system backed storage of data since the disk IO load of writing directly to disk cripples the performance of even machines with hardware raid. To do that, I'll need a good way to estimate disk usage based on some parameters the users can figure out easily. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
