rather than use a gmond python module, you could probably accomplish what you want using external python program that gathers up all your SNMP data and then spoofs it into ganglia using gmetric.py. https://github.com/ganglia/ganglia_contrib/tree/master/gmetric-python the data will appear to be coming from another host even though you are inserting it all into ganglia from your utility host. https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/wiki/Gmetric-Spoofing eg. g = gmetric.Gmetric( gmondHost, gmondPort, gmondProtocol ) spoofStr = ip + ':' + host g.send( name, '%.2f' % d, 'float', unit, 'both', 60, 0, "", spoofStr ) I do this for a bunch of 'out of band' data like node temps, fans, infiniband traffic, filesystem traffic, etc. the only quirk in doing it this way is that if a host is down then this spoof'd data will make it appear like it's still up. but for pure 'fake' hosts like it sounds like you have, then that's probably what you want. cheers, robin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list Ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
