This document walks you through the steps necessary to make a custom information provider given that you want to wrap an existing command line program: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/info/usefulrp/WS_MDS_UsefulRP_HOWTO_RPProvider_ExternalElem.html To replace Ganglia for the compute information in MDS, you can remove the configuration block and replace it with the own you create from above. -Neill.
