We have tried installing new metrics and experienced an array of problems, and one of the modules involves adding metrics to an existing group, and we're exploring an array of culprits, some of them based on pure speculation like this one here.
We just want to know if adding metrics to existing groups, for instance adding additional process metrics to the 'processes' group, is a good idea. Or if new metrics should have their own groups. Is there any conflicts that could result from this? Does it have to be done a certain way? We are actually using C DSOs not Python written by a contractor, and he has wondered this himself, and I'm basically relaying his question.

Thanks in advance Can you please elaborate on what "groups" you are talking about? Are you referring to metric groups like "cpu metrics", "disk metrics", etc.? And how are you adding new metrics? Via gmetric, or DSO Python module? And what exactly is the "problem" you are having? What version of Ganglia are you using?
