Thanks for all the replies. I've been silently taking down notes. Feel free to keep the ideas coming. -Matt On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 6:43 AM, Chris Burroughs chris.burrou...@gmail.comwrote: On 12/09/2011 07:51 PM, Matt Massie wrote: What are the things you would be most interested in?

Re: [Ganglia-general] O'Reilly eBook on Ganglia
I'd be glad to have a reference for all the settings and variables that are being used in the various .json files. As far as I can tell, the only documentation is the php code itself. Some more verbosity about making custom reports (the stuff that lives in graph.d) would be nice too. Reports at least have a wiki page and the php scripts are well commented, but the json files are devoid of info.
