Public bug reported:
Hello,
Via apt, I installed ganglia-monitor on a machine running Ubuntu 22.
ganglia-monitor contains a gmond service. Normally(?) install puts a
config file for gmond in /etc. Details online
https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/wiki/Ganglia-Quick-Start
So far as I can tell, no default config files for gmond or gmetad are
installed via this package. When I start up ganglia, I get an error
message about no config file being present.
Ganglia has been around forever, and I can't tell if it is under active
development. https://github.com/ganglia/
In past ubuntu releases (20, 18?) a default config file was included as
part of the apt install package.
