[Ganglia-developers] template-based metric definition with PCRE

2009-11-28 Thread Daniel Pocock
For those following trunk, you may need to bootstrap again, and make sure you have pcre available. I've linked gmond with libpcre so that it can dynamically match the metric names E.g., for the multicpu module, this is the only metric definition that needs to be given to enable all metrics on

[Ganglia-developers] gmetad and rrdtool scalability

One problem I've been wondering about recently is the scalability of gmetad/rrdtool. Various events could impact the gmetad server load: - adding more clusters - in this case, the admin can easily decide to add the new cluster on a new gmetad server if the existing server is overloaded - ad
