Paul, Why would you consider gmetrics to be second class? I find those to be much more useful than the builtin metrics. In fact, the only thing that's nice about builtin metrics (other than the fact that you get them out-of-the-box) is that they get reported even when the machine is under

Hi all, We've come across a problem when bonding multiple interfaces under Linux. The reported network information was counted both for the bonding interface and for the slave interfaces - incorrectly doubling the network usage stats. I'm attaching a patch which solves the issue - it supports

Hi all, A while ago the issue of reopening the gmetric repository for contributions was raised, but no decision has been reached (if I remember correctly). I want to raise this issue again, in hope we could reopen the repository and add another one for patches to the web frontend. Personally,

Hi Egan, That's not possible at this point. It's an interesting idea, though. I'd go with pushing the data into gmond if you're doing unicast, though. That way when gmetad polls it, the data would get written out to the rrds without having to modify any gmetad code. If you're doing multicast,

This is something that should be configurable. It's probably a good idea to set this as default behavior, but there should also be an option to revert back to the old behavior. I think the global section in gmond.conf would be the right place for this setting. Cheers, Alex James Mcininch
