Re: [Ganglia-general] Dynamic views in the web interface
Heh, best practices is a fluffy term indeed. But I will take it that JSON is a good way to do what we want to do. Thanks for the feedback!

One of the reasons why view definitions were designed in a way that they were ie. using JSON was to make it fairly easy to generate those using a wide variety of tools from config management systems, shell scripts, etc. So you could technically run something every few minutes that looks at the list of hosts and generates the proper JSON view.

Re: [Ganglia-general] Making use of metric titles?
You absolutely can however it may be a bit of coding to get it out.
Basically titles are part of metric extra data in the output gmond/gmetad
expose e.g.
METRIC NAME=bytes_out VAL=656.45 TYPE=float UNITS=bytes/sec
TN=120 TMAX=300 DMAX=0 SLOPE=both
EXTRA_DATA
EXTRA_ELEMENT NAME=GROUP VAL=network/
EXTRA_ELEMENT NAME=DESC VAL=Number of bytes out per second/
EXTRA_ELEMENT NAME=TITLE VAL=Bytes Sent/
/EXTRA_DATA
You'd have to modify either one of the graph.d/ scripts or create your own
script that uses the mapping.

Is there a way to create a report that makes use of the metric titles?
Background: I have Ganglia installed on AIX. In this specific environment I
also collect fibrechannel (FC) data as defined in the
conf.d/ibmfc.conf file, where I give the metrics a name, based on the
attachment to the adapter (disk or tape).
For example:
[...]
metric {
name = fcs0_input_requests
title = fcs0 Disk Read IOs
value_threshold = 0.001
}
[...]
metric {
name = fcs1_input_requests
title = fcs1 Tape Read IOs
value_threshold = 0.001
}
[...]
Could I use the title information to create aggregrate graphs? (at least for
host and cluster but perhaps also for the grid).
Or do I have to change the metric definitions?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Re: [Ganglia-general] IP Change on gmetad/apache server
Thank you Chris. We are identifying hosts by DNS name. The only thing that changed is that the IP address for the gmetad/apache server has changed, and as a result, most of the cluster are no longer visible in the Ganglia console. __ Dan Franco Team Lead, Midrange Standards and Engineering PNC Financial Services 600 Grant Street, P6-PUSX-39-3, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 412-762-5132 dan.fra...@pnc.com Learn about PNC Midrange Systems on Connections (internal only) From: Chris Burroughs chris.burrou...@gmail.com To: dan.fra...@pnc.com Cc: ganglia-general@lists.sourceforge.net Date: 03/18/2013 05:37 PM Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] IP Change on gmetad/apache server I gather from the context that you are identifying hosts by ip?
