You should look at one of the existing configuration management tools
for this. Have a look at puppet/cfengine/bcfg2 and choose one that you
like. They will take care of pushing the configuration, restarting the
server and all other issues for you.
For my systems I am using puppet with something like:
$ cat ganglia.pp
define gmondconfig( $port, $cluster ) {
file { "/etc/gmond.conf":
path => "/etc/gmond.conf",
mode => 644,
owner => root,
group => root,
ensure => file,
notify => Service[gmond],
content => template("apps/ganglia/gmondconfig.erb")
}
service { gmond:
ensure => running,
enable => true,
hasstatus => true,
require => Package[ganglia-gmond]
}
package { ganglia-gmond:
ensure => present
}
}
The template is a "standard" config file with the cluster name and
send/receive ports as variables.
...
udp_recv_channel {
port = <%= port %>
...
Then for the different nodes I use definitions like the following
to add the machine to the right cluster...
gmondconfig { "gmondconfig": port => 8690, cluster => "foo.webservers" }
gmondconfig { "gmondconfig": port => 8691, cluster => "foo.tests" }
Cheers,
Kostas
