Thinking back now, it would have made since for dmax to be hardcoded in 3.0 because there was no way to add or remove metrics in that version. But in the 3.1 version where you can do it, dmax shouldn't have been hardcoded and should have been exposed. With gmond 3.0, you should be able to add metrics using gmetric.

[Ganglia-developers] dmax for python and C gmond modules
Hi all: When I was writing a Python module for monitoring GPU metrics, I noticed that the interface does not provide a way to set dmax. According to the gmetric man page, dmax is: -d, --dmax=INT The lifetime in seconds of this metric (default=‘0’) So I was wondering why this isn't available for the Python or C module interfaces. Right now, if I had added a new metric via the interfaces and no longer want it, I would have to: 1) Comment it out in the conf 2) Restart the gmond where the module originates from 3) Restart the collector gmond 4) Restart gmetad Thanks, Bernard -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
