Hi all: Since the release of Ganglia 3.1, we have introduced the new configuration option send_metadata_interval in gmond.conf. This is set to 0 by default and the user must set this to a sane number if using unicast otherwise if gmonds are restarted, hosts may appear to be offline (this is documented in the release notes). A bug has already been filed:
http://bugzilla.ganglia.info/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242 We recently have a lot of users having this issue and Vladimir recommend that we just set a sane number as the default and be done with it, since we end up spending a lot of time on IRC/mailing-list to solve the same problem over and over again. Since there have been some commits to the 3.1 branch since tagging 3.1.7, I propose we just copy 3.1.7 tag, update the send_meta_data interval in the configuration file and release that as 3.1.8. This is not the normal procedure for making a release, so I'd like to get some feedback from other developers. BTW I am thinking of setting send_metadata_interval to 30 seconds. Also, does anybody know if this setting affects multicast setups in any way?
