I've got some patches in the works to fix major bugs in the FreeBSD metrics code (the CPU metrics are currently entirely bogus). I'll try to get them in today but I'm kinda sick so it may not be until tomorrow. > i also have another question for you guys. > > how much do you love/hate java? how would you feel about having gmetad > written in java? > > i only ask because i'm playing around with jrobin > (http://www.jrobin.org/) and it has some features that rrdtool does not > which we really need. for example... in-memory rrds (sync to disk > whenever you like).. dynamically altering rrd data sources/archives... > databases are cross-platform. > > i'm not sold on this idea at all but i wanted to get some early feedback > before i allow my mind to wander any further. Java is a huge dependency problem unless you happen to be on a platform like Linux that Sun cares about. Obtaining and installing Java is a pain on FreeBSD. It's not impossible by any means, but Sun's distribution requirements make it difficult to automate. I'm not totally against it, especially since the in-memory stuff sounds really nice, but it's certainly big dependency (a LOT bigger then apr or expat). -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
