Thank you for your replies Bernard and Shekar. Actually in the meanwhile I managed to make it work. For those who might want to do the same here's what I did:
· Stop gmond and gmetad, and clean the RRD database in the collector (I was getting unspecified clusters and cached information so this was a clean start) · I have 5 clusters so I've created 5 gmond.conf files - gmond-cluster1.conf, gmond-cluster2.conf...etc. In these files I've set up the cluster name, both udp and tcp ports to the same number, and the hostname in the udp_send_channel to 'localhost' · In gmetad.conf I set up a grid name (not necessary but better to have a cleaner UI) · Still in gmetad.conf I have created 5 data_sources, one for each cluster: data_source "Cluster A" localhost:portA data_source "Cluster B" localhost:portB ... Note that these ports and cluster names match those in the gmond files I've created earlier. I had some problems with the ports, some clusters were not appearing if they were using port 8651 for instance, but I just changed the port and they worked...I am not sure why, I don't think this port numbers are restricted...but well, if someone knows why, tell me please · Then I just daemonized the 5 gmonds like this: # deamon gmond -c /etc/ganglia/gmond-clusterA.conf # ..... · Finally, I just started gmetad and now it's running fine. To add more clusters I just need to, in this order, daemonized the new gmond for that cluster and restart gmetad. Hope this helps someone in the future ;) Cumprimentos / Best regards, Cristóvão José Domingues Cordeiro ________________________________________ From: Bernard Li [bern...@vanhpc.org] Sent: 24 January 2014 04:49 To: Cristovao Jose Domingues Cordeiro Cc: ganglia-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] multiple clusters with just one collector Hello: To accomplish what you want to do, I believe you have two options: 1) Run multiple gmonds, on the master collector, each one listening on different ports 2) Have one gmond but have multiple udp_recv_channels listening on different ports It might help if you also post your configuration somewhere and reference it here (eg. pastebin or some such). Please let us know if you have any other questions.
