i just uploaded a new snapshot of ganglia 3.0.0 to
http://matt-massie.com/ganglia/

this snapshot has a more complete gangliad and better documentation
(meaning there IS documentation).

inside the distribution, you can read them with

% man ./gangliad/gangliad.1
% man ./gangliad/ganglia.conf.5
% more README

there is also ./gangliad/ganglia.conf.html and ./gangliad/gangliad.html
files to open with you web browser.

all documentation is generated automagically from pod files

to run the new snapshot

% ./configure
% make

and then go to the gangliad directory

% cd ./gangliad

there is a very simple ganglia.conf file that loads two sample modules
"mod_example" and "mod_load" without any parameters.

run gangliad...

% ./gangliad

if you want to get crazy you can load up a number of http servers on
different ports with different modules by changing ganglia.conf.

i'll have a more detailed documentation and code very soon.  i'll also
explain how the ganglia namespace will likely work.  i'm just running
out of time today.

i'll also be adding the threshold checks to the module structures very
soon with some examples (e.g. for alerts).
