Web interface caches a lot of the information for example. For example if
you look in
/var/lib/ganglia/conf
there is ganglia_metrics.cache which is PHP serialized array of host to
cluster mappings, host to metrics mappings etc.
Also if you use Nagios integration it will cache a cleaned up version of
the XML tree.

Perhaps more interesting is the interactive port, which allows a script

documented terribly well (or it wasn't a

the web frontend php scripts.
That does sound more interesting - looking around it seems pretty
straightforward to get a subset of the xml this way if you
know what you are looking for. Would be great to hear from others if there are
options for getting a list of what's available
without collecting all the data (for example, list of clusters, list of hosts
in cluster, etc).
