[Ganglia-developers] Patches for Ganglia

2012-08-08 Thread Paul Hewlett

Hi All

I have been using Ganglia on a test cluster. I needed to use Ganglia to collect 
data to be fed to another application. This required
modifications to the Ganglia source code and consequently I have been building 
Ganglia from source. The OS is Centos is 5.8/RHEL5.

The original work was on 3.3.1. I have just upgraded to 3.4.0 and reconstituted 
the patches as 'git diffs'. I would like to offer them
back for inclusion in the next release of Ganglia.

Here are the patches:

Errors:

diffgit.err_dbg_attributes - added attributes to dbg and err functions (may not 
work on non-linux)
diffgit.format_errors - fixed incorrect format revealed by the 
err_dbg_attributes patch including one format mismatch (bug)
diffgit.hash_memory_leak - added free call to prevent memory leak
diffgit.init_d_0 - specify debug level of 0 on start to prevent boot failure
diffgit.missing_headers - some missing #includes
diffgit.procstat_return - fix incorrect NULL return in procstat.py
diffgit.static_debug_level - make debug_level static
diffgit.static_init_sockaddr - make function static
diffgit.unsafe_realloc - fixed unsafe use of realloc (this should be applied)

Cosmetic:

diffgit.diskstat_comment - incorrect comment in diskstat.py

Enhancements:

diffgit.cciss_c0d0 - modifies diskstat.py to cope with HP Smartarray disk 
devices
diffgit.diskstat_sectors - added read_sectors and write_sectors metrics
diffgit.dumpfile - added option to dump data to text file (requires sigterm 
patch)
diffgit.num_sources - explicitly specify num_sources from config file
diffgit.sigterm - add sane SIGTERM handling
diffgit.trace_msg - add trace_msg call which allows scaled debug msgs

Site specific (may not be generally applicable):

diffgit.multicpu - change multicpu metric names so that they can be parsed more 
easily

My project is coming to an end and I will not have much time to use the 
recommended procedure involving 'git clone'
Please advise on how best to submit these.

Regards
Paul

If you don't have the time or desire to use the github pull request
system, please post a unified diff to this list, and one of the
maintainers will merge your changes in.

Thanks,
Jeff

[Ganglia-developers] updating git user IDs

2012-08-08 Thread Daniel Pocock



I've just added an authors.txt file to the git repo

Can people please:

a) find your user ID (or IDs) from Sourceforge

b) put in your real name and preferred email address

c) commit your change to the file

There is no technical reason for authors.txt to be in the repo, I just
thought this would be a convenient way to do this.

I don't think git validates it in anyway, but I think it is convenient
if each user is consistent, always using the same name/email.

At some point later in the month, I will try to use the
git-filter-branch method to amend the repo to contain the correct author
details for all past commits.  For anyone who has not updated the file,
I will simply use one of the following:

- the name/email you use in a recent github commit

- if no github commits, the name/email you last used on the public email
list
