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 Ri

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 no

Thanks, Rick. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the problem I'm running into. I do have the cluster name set to Datanodes in all the client. Otherwise, I wouldn't expect it to show all of them when I click Show Hosts. dbr Rick Cobb wrote: > This is such a common misconception that the

This is such a common misconception that the development team should consider removing the name field from the data_source configuration line entirely. Fundamentally, cluster names come from the gmond.conf files. The names of datasources exist only to confuse the hell out of you and create bugs.

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 a

I'm running Ganglia-3.1.7 under RHEL-5.5 on a cluster. My nodes are divided into different classes for monitoring. My largest class of nodes, datanodes, spans 3 VLANs, and I don't route multicast between those domains. I have the following in gmetad.conf on my master node: data_source "Datanod

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 directo
