Steve,
There's the multicast port, and then there's the unicast port.
The monitoring core and gmetric ship out the XDR packets on the
multicast port (and, in the case of the monitoring core, listen on it
as well). The monitoring core listens for connections on the unicast
port and dumps the metric tree in XML format to anyone who connects
and has their IP allowed in gmond.conf.
Thanks!!! I have always made my system work, and
not I know "why". Perhaps I can be in the Matrix now :-)
Barkin' up the wrong tree there, buddy.
Ever notice that the red pill looks just like a DayQuil capsule?
Hmmmm.
I thought the port number would change, but
empirical evedence shows to use 8649.
It can change, if you like... :)
Nah, It's fine. It was just not how I perceived the comments
in /etc/gmetad.conf. Besides, if it is not clear, perhaps I have
job security ;-)
Well, gmetad trafficks does all its polling in unicast, currently.

I never offer to be the one to do so...]
