Sure does thanks! I guess dig into the source code of the DSO modules to make it not recognize its own cycles? Bad idea?
Obviously, if Ganglia is using up considerable resources, one would want to know. However, the purpose of Ganglia is to measure the performance of everything else, Ganglia can skew this data. Ideally and naturally, one would like to measure performance without using up any resources in doing so. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Knoblauch [mailto:kn...@knobisoft.de] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 1:53 AM To: Stevens, Weston J; ganglia-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] Does Ganglia measure itself? Hi Weston, "gmond" just looks at the low-level counters provided by the OS and has no awareness about its own resource usage. So, it will collect cpu-usage including its own cycles. Does this answer your question?
