Yes, the fact that the .py file exists in the /usr/lib/ganglia/python_modules directory means that mod_python will automatically load the module. Gmond will not try to collect metrics from it or call any of its handlers, but it will load the module. The only way to avoid this is to move the .py file out of the directory or give it a different extention. So to disable a python module, you not only have to rename the .conf file, but you also have to move or remove the corresponding .py file itself. So the more interesting question is why won't the tcpconn module load? One of the nice things about building a gmond python module is that you can actually do all of the development and debugging completely independent from gmond. In other words, you can just run the .py script directly through python and it will function just as if gmond had called it. Have you tried to run tcpconn.py directly in python? I would be interested to know what it is failing on. Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
