RE: [Ganglia-general] Multicast issue: High bandwidth usage

Hi Vineet. I'm not a big fan of multicasts either. Right now I generate ganglia metrics on around 150 nodes. Gmetric is also used to produce a large number of custom metrics in addition to gmond's built in metrics. Multicast packets are sent to every single host machine on a router/subnet.

[Ganglia-general] Can someone please confirm safe_mode works?

Hi. I know some have you have responded already, but I just need a definite answer from someone who has personally ran the webfrontend with safe_mode on. Sounds like it should be a cinch, but our web server expert is having trouble configuring the PHP safe mode directives related to uids,gids,

RE: [Ganglia-general] Graphs not showing on Ganglia PHP Web Front end

Hi Id. Check that your conf.php points to the correct location of the rrdtool executable. Also, one mistake I have made in the past was not realizing that rrd files are NOT cross-platform binaries. Stick to one OS in the case of your web server and gmetad. In the past I used a mix of Solaris

[Ganglia-general] Ganglia and SNMP?

Hi There. I'm considering the use of Ganglia to cover the monitoring of 'Black Box' dedicated network devices via SNMP. I realize that Ganglia is geared towards distributed clusters but the potential gains could be huge if monitoring of abstract devices could be intergated into the Ganglia

[Ganglia-general] Ganglia on Redhat Enterprise 3.0

Hi. Has anyone built and ran Ganglia on Redhat Enterprise 3? I'm hoping it will be fairly straightforward since I have no trouble with Redhat 9.0. Only one way to find out... Yemi

[Ganglia-general] Iostat metrics

I'd really like to get some I/O metrics for filesystems that are consistent with what 'iostat -x' produces. This info can be retrieved from the Solaris kernel using the kstat interface or in the case of Linux, /proc/partitions . Has this work been done already? Thought I'd better ask now to

[Ganglia-general] Managing rrds/filesystems

Hi There. I'm wondering if any of you can offer advice on: a) how to determine the maximum total size of rrds for a cluster nodes using a single gmetad daemon. I know this depends on the number of metrics...anyone got a decent formula? b) A solid way of providing remote access to the rrds so

[Ganglia-general] Node clustering question

Hi There. I plan to monitor many nodes grouped into clusters and feed these clusters to gmetad that will store the data and serve it to the web frontend. I am not too keen on having monitored nodes also function as collectors/concentrators. I would prefer to have all the gmonds in a single

Hi There. I'm making progress with the ganglia 2.5.4 web frontend but I'm having trouble getting the various pull down menus to function correctly. Eventually I realized that the generated URLs do not contain 'index.php': For starters http://localhost/gmetad-webfrontend/ does not default to
