There's a particular order in which you want to restart the daemons. (Took me a while to figure it out, but makes sense if you think about it)

1. restart gmond (ones that gmetad polls)
   If gmetad polls multiple hosts, such as:
      data_source "foo" host01 host02
   restart gmond on both host01 and host02. (IMPORTANT!)
   Basically, restart all gmond master(s) for the cluster.
2. restart gmetad
3. Then you can do a XML dump of gmetad using netcat as Bernard advised. Grep for the gmetric items to see if they're gone.
4. If #3 is satisfactory, go and delete the rrds.

Hello

Yes I have tried to do that aswell.
No matter what I tried (restarting gmond/gmetad), the gmetad still
recreates the rrd for those metrics.

Thanks for your help

I am starting to work with Ganglia in our UNIX cluster and I really
love it.
I have been experimenting with the use of gmetric but now I don't know

how I can "remove" the Gmetric.
I already stoppen the scheduling (cron) of the gmetric executable, but

the gmetad still keeps track of the rrds of these gmetrics.

Even when I stop gmetad, delete the rrds of the gmetrics and restart gmetad, gmetad creates the rrds again.

So how I can notify gmetad not to bother about that Gmetric anymore.

Have you tried re-starting your gmonds as well?

Cheers,

Bernard
