I would like gmond (2.5.0) to monitor at a faster rate. The output from gmond indicates that it is reporting every ten seconds (REPORTED attribute in HOST). I'd like to bump that up to every second.
I remember a message some weeks ago talking about mcast_min and mcast_max in metric.h in $GANGLIA_SOURCE/gmond. Looking at that array, it is unclear to me how the values interact or what units they might be in. Could someone point me to documentation on this or give me a quick explanation so I can play with the values safely and knowledgably?
