Re: [Ganglia-general] Recompiling new release in 3.4.0 (autoconf / autotools)

2012-07-26 Thread Daniel Pocock
This type of issue has been discussed a few times on the -developers list and in other projects Essentially, autotools is very picky and varies a lot from one version to the next So the only thing that the release team can support is bootstrapping from an identical system each time. All the re

Hi Kevin: It is documented in the release notes, but it's "buried" deep down at this point: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia/wiki/ganglia_release_notes#ImportantNotes : We should note this in the gmond man pages, if it isn't already. It would be helpful if you could take a look at the l

Bernard, My concern was that I didn't see anything notated in documentation to point this out, so it didn't seem to be obvious. I found the solution through the forum (which is helpful and great!). If it is a known standard configuration change that needs to be made for all unicast configuratio

2012-07-26 Thread Bernard Li
Hi Kevin: In your opinion, what would be a "fix" for this issue? Technically this is not a bug. We thought of setting a default value but since this is highly dependent on the users' setup we decided to leave it up to the users to change it. I suppose we could add some checks during startup suc

2012-07-26 Thread Kevin T Kidd
Currently there is a known bug with a ganglia installation configuration for unicasting where all nodes can have display problems if the gmond is not changed from the default send_metadata_interval of 0 to a non-zero value. It has been recommended to change the send_metadata_interval to 30 or 60
