[Ganglia-general] Archive Ganglia

For various convoluted reasons, I would like to copy my rrd files to another server, and view them as a point in time archive. In effect just have the webfrontend running, and no gematd or gmond processes. Any ideas ? It seems that simply copying the /var/www/html/ganglia and /data/rrds

I've been thinking about doing something similar, so let me know how it works out for you. I believe that you will need an instance of gmetad running, as that is what provides information to the PHP front-end. So it seems to me that you would need to do the following: Make a copy of the rrd files

One more time trying to get this thread back on the list instead of just between David me. And I'll disclaim expertise on 3.1 here. On the other hand, I've been in this code more times than I wanted to in 3.0, and I don't think the fundamental design of gmetad was affected by 3.0 - 3.1. I'm not

Rick, Thanks for your help on this. That's disappointing. I guess I'll either move to unicast or set up multicast routing. I like the ease and redundancy of multicast, but I don't really like having all my nodes broadcast continually across the entire cluster. Have a great weekend! dbr
