We have started this project and the pieces seem to be falling into place
nicely. We already have the first metrics showing up in the web interface.
The changes needed to implement sFlow support are contained entirely within
the gmond.c file and are limited to the process_udp_recv_channel method.
Adding the following lines to the gmond.conf file enables sFlow support:
/* sFlow channel */
/* Note: 6343 is the IANA registered port for the sFlow protocol */
udp_recv_channel {
port = 6343
}
Our initial goal is to populate all the standard metrics from libmetrics.
Once we have that working, we will send a patch containing the changes to
gmond.c.

I think this is a good idea, so a +1 from me. Please let us know if
you decide to go ahead with this and run into problems with your
implementation.
BTW, you might be able to reach the community a bit better by emailing
the ganglia-general mailing-list.
Thanks,
Bernard
