Hi! It is not clear to me what and how data circulate between gmonds. So .. so for i understand this (for simplicity lets consider unicast) :
1. udp channels are used for actual data traffic (push architecture) 1.1 gmond nodes send data with the send parameters from udp_send_channel 1.2 the aggregating node receive data on parameters from udp_recv_channel 2. tcp channel is used for interrogation by gmetad about the respective aggregated cluster (data cluster - as the actual cluster groupping is given by cluster directive and gmetad will aggregate data corresponding to that) So, i would need some confirmation about my understanding as this info is not explicitly spelled anywhere... And now the subject of the email : deaf and mute options are referring ONLY to udp channels? deaf : do not receive data from other gmonds mute : do not send data to other gmonds? the thing is that if i set deaf = yes there is no longer any listening port, udp AND tcp ! so gmetad query cannot take place! if i set mute = yes, deaf = no the gmond will answer to nc localhost 8649 (tcp) but will no longer send data to gmetad (host down in web page) So .. what exactly is deaf and mute? And is it possible to update the gmond.conf with more descriptive options? (like send_data, receive data, answer_query) Thank you! Adrian
