I don't think anyone is trying to force their solutions on you, but just trying to help you get a solution that will work in your environment with the less effort and based on our collective experience. I am sorry you can't just use any of the solutions we had come with because of your environment constrains and believe it or not, we are trying to come out with some good middle ground you could build on, which is not intrusive to everyone else's environment and generic enough to be useful for others. In case it was lost somehow in the discussions the proposed design was : * add a new process as part of ganglia called greaper whose function will be to manage a local gmond.conf and sync it from some sort of configuration management system. a modular setup for it will allow everyone else that is using their own custom setup to migrate to this solution in the long run, if they like it. * greaper will be in charge of starting and restarting gmond as well when it is needed and will be most likely running as root or any other valid administrative user and require some sort of notification protocol or do periodic lookups to confirm the configuration is still valid.
