Hi all: I would like to give you guys some idea about the gmond XML datastream size of the upcoming 3.1.x release.
3.0.x currently monitors 32 metrics by default. 3.1.x monitors the same 32 metrics + 7 mulicpu + 13 tcp python module metrics = 52 metrics by default I collected the gmond XML datastream size of both 3.0.x and 3.1.x installations and here are the results: 3.0.x: 33 metrics = 4264 Bytes (129.21 Bytes/metric) 3.1.x: 53 metrics = 16999 Bytes (320.74 Bytes/metric) So it looks like the size of the XML stream would roughly increase by 2.5x per metric. The way I got the size of the stream is to run the following command on a gmond server monitoring one host: `nc localhost 8649 | wc -c` which will get me the size of the entire gmond XML stream. I then minus the size of common data like !ELEMENT, !ATTLIST, <GANGLIA_XML> tags etc. which won't repeat as the number of hosts increases (this is roughly 2390 Bytes and 2554 Bytes for 3.0.x and 3.1.x respectively).
