I made up a rough diagram about how Ganglia 4.x could look:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ganglia/monitor-core/master/doc/planning/ganglia-4.x.png The biggest change is the introduction of MongoDB Instead of having the gmetad serve up an XML every time somebody asks to see the web page, the gmetad will just store current values into MongoDB. This means that web frameworks (like PHP) can query the data from MongoDB, which is much more horizontally scalable and more suited to serving this data. For large sites where many users access the web reports, this will be very useful. MongoDB is also a backend for rsyslog daemon now and could potentially be a Nagios backend, so it would be a great way to unify monitoring data. The introduction of RabbitMQ is an optional dependency. It would allow users to send commands from the web interface. One of the motivations for this work is the Google Summer of Code projects. Each student can potentially work on a different part of this puzzle and at the end of the year we could launch it as Ganglia 4.0 if people like it.
