if you are using multicast set the metadata_interval to 0. I suspect you are causing a multicast storm which is causing things to die off.

Actually i've set it to 10. Also, tcpdump on a few nodes revealed that 
multicast messages are being sent but no messages are received.
if i restart gmond then on that node i see messages being recieved for a few 
minutes before the problem comes back, while on other nodes
no messages come up on tcpdump.

My best guess is that we are dealing with some igmp issue and that restarting 
gmond rejoins the multicast.

      Just offhand and without doing my googling, this sounds like you haven't modified 
the gmond "send metadata" timer (sorry,
      name's not handy).  Vladimir's cheat sheet is pretty clear about that: if 
you're unicasting, you have to modify that
      parameter.

      I'm having the exact same problem, my configuration is similar. ganglia
      3.2.0 installed from lucid ppa, network is one layer 2 segment spanning
      3 switches. I've tried downgrading to 3.1.2 on one node and got the same
      behaviour.


      Anything I can do to help debug this?
