Hi! I was looking over the ganglia wishlist (which i think should be updated as there are solved items) and the named rrd directory item picked my attention as this was a problem of mine ... I was wondering why for the servers (where gmond can run) is not used dmidecode -s system-uuid ... it is true that dmidecode package would become an requirement .. (and gmetric should take as first argument an uuid)
The second item is from personal wishlist : is it possible to have another storage backend beside rrds? i use another monitoring tool called MonaLisa (written in java) which stores the data in postgres tables and it is doing it very efficient ... As far i seen the data is storage by creating time series for each metric for each host from each cluster_id ... Wouldn't be possible to make in postgres tables with time_stamp,metric pairs for each host (UUID) and a table with host_uuid,cluster_id pair? Another thing i was wondering : why gmetad do data processing? (like summaries) naively (i dont have much experience) i would think that it be useful to have a clear separation (gmond is a message passing instrument, gmetad is a storage (only) data instrument and the gweb should process and present/publish the data)... Any thoughts on this? Thanks a lot for patience! Adrian
