Re: [Ganglia-developers] Avg Load percentages on the web frontend.

2005-12-15 Thread Jason A. Smith
Hi Rick, There is one extra piece of information that my patch takes into account, the selected time range. Lets say that you are looking at the monthly data with the web frontend. The Load Avg numbers will show you the latest values for the 1, 5 & 15 minute loads, averaged over the number of no

Re: [Ganglia-developers] Avg Load percentages on the web frontend.

2005-12-15 Thread Rick Mohr
If I understand the current behavior correctly, the "Load Avg" for say the 1-min load is simply the sum of the 1-min loads on all nodes divided by the total number of processors on all nodes. Personally, I find this value useful because it is a relatively good indication of how much of our clu

2005-12-15 Thread Jason A. Smith
I was thinking that if some people would prefer the current behavior, it could either be made into an admin config option or somehow user selectable on the web frontend. A third option, like you said, would be to display both. Anyone have any thoughts on which is the best choice and how to do it.

Hi Bernard. I'm playing with NetSNMP right now. Thanks for the toasterview link. There are quite a few SNMP tools out there. My challenge is to try and consolidate some of our monitoring functionality. BTW, I'm also messing with the RRD parameters because I'd rather have larger files with n

Hi Yemi: Although not exactly related, I assume you know about this: http://www.cuddletech.com/code/toasterview/ I will be interested in trying out your patch. We use NetApp filers as our main NFS servers and once in a blue moon we would have huge cluster jobs that spike the NFS servers - at th

Hi Martin. I will put in some testing time before submitting code along with documentation. This is of great importance to me because I need to monitor Network Appliance (NetApp) boxes. It is also worth considering security implications. Once the recipient gmond has processed the spoof me

Hi, I'm working on a generic monitoring daemon: http://monami.sourceforge.net/ The design is for plugins providing functionality, so the ganglia plugin uploads data into the local Ganglia monitoring infrastructure, similar to gmetric. Monitoring is also done via plugins, so its (easily) exte

Yemi, please open a bugzilla entry, assign to me and attach your patch (diff -u format). The functionality sounds interesting to consider. I assume you are willing to provide the documantation for it :-) Another thing I always wanted is a way to fix up the host name in "gmond" reporting. I ha

2005-12-15 Thread Ramon Bastiaans
Hi Martin, Nah, it's not really a problem. In fact I think the way it works now may be better. It allows one to include an entire section. This way one can split up gmond.conf, in a global cluster conf and a machine specific conf. For example, include on each node the _host { location = "som

Hi Ramon, you are right, the web page is wrong. I will fix that. "include" only works from the top level in the gmond.conf file. This was discussed briefly during the 3.0.2 period when we made include work at all. Is that behaviour a problem? We could change it in 3.0.3, but is there a real use

Hey all, It seems to me that the include() of extra configs does not work as advertised on the website. It only works from outside config sections. -- this does not work -- gmond.conf now processes include() statements This simple feature provides more flexibility in configuring gmond. e.g
