Dear Ganglia community: For those who have been following our development, you know that we have recently created a new branch for 3.1, which when stabilized, will become the first release in the 3.1.x series (probably will be called 3.1.1).
I just cut the first snapshot and the files are available here: http://www.ganglia.info/snapshots/3.1.x ** This is a development snapshot and is not ready for production use yet ** For those who are interested in performing a test upgrade from an older installation (3.0.x), the RPM will automatically move your current configurations (gmond.conf, gmetad.conf) to the new configuration location (/etc/ganglia). However, for gmond, the 3.0.x conf will not work. Please use the patch file gmond-3.1.patch (available in the above URL) to patch your gmond.conf prior to starting, otherwise gmond will fail to startup. Some development highlights: - New C/Python module support for dynamically plugging metrics into gmond directly - Memory metrics are converted from int to float to get around issue of > 4TB - Metrics come with additional data, like group, descriptive title which are used in the frontend - Metrics in frontend metrics view are now grouped and can be hidden (javascript must be enabled) - Manpages for all ganglia components (gmond, gmetad, gmetric, gstat) are now included in RPM - apr, expat, confuse libraries are removed from source tree. Ganglia will dynamically use system provided libraries by default, this can be overridden using ./configure options - Code for report graph creation is now modularized in graph.d/ directory under docroot which facilitates creation of new custom report graphs - Added support for DragonFlyBSD - Numerous bugfixes Please help the developers test this snapshot especially if you use Ganglia on non-Linux platforms. This will help us stabilize the tree quicker and get the release out sooner. If you encounter any issues, please get in touch with the developers at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for your support!
