Vitaly,
unfortunately the problem lies with cygwin rather than Ganglia.
The windows agent is essentially the same as the Linux one
(hence not too much development work) and cygwin was the way
to make the code work. The author of this did not find out
until afterwards how broken cygwins emulation of /proc really was.
The lack of the 1 minute load metric really screws all the web
stuff, because the load1 value drives much of the GUI.
Because here I predominately monitor windows based HPC
clusters, I hacked the web interface to be driven by cpu load
rather than load1, which means my php files are a significant fork
from the standard. With hindsight, changing the metric.c file for the
cygwin gmond to fake up load1 and other metrics may have been
a better idea.
I don't think there are any change for the better with the windows
binary between 3.0.0 and 3.0.4. But I do have windows binaries
for 3.0.3 if you wanted them.
If you want to make it yourself, the following may ease your pain:
1) Get the full cygwin system, don't bother on any subset.
2) Do this in the ganglia source tree
find . '(' -name libtool -o -name config.cache -o
-name config.status ')' -a -print -a -exec rm '{}' ';'
3) Compile from the untouched release. If you had already done a Linux
based ./configure, it really poisons the cygwin compilation.
4) make -I, and be prepared to do it more than once.
kind regards,
Richard
