Vinícius, xCAT is a project with a rich history of different features implemented over a period of many years. Due to the open source nature of the project, it is difficult for the xCAT core team to assess which features are being used within the xCAT community. The xCAT core team tries to prioritize testing and development of functions that we know are most critical to core xCAT operation so that we can hopefully provide the most benefit to the most xCAT users. Ganglia monitoring is one of those areas that the xCAT core team is not actively testing or developing. In cases like this, we have tried to take the approach of leaving the function in xCAT and relying on the xCAT community to support each other and provide fixes via pull requests.
There was a recent pull request that was included in xCAT 2.15, submitted by an xCAT community contributor that shows some users are actively making use of this function: https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/pull/6436 (Thanks to github user @omula for this contribution!) > There’s a list of supported features of xCAT 2.15? In general, if you are interested in using xCAT features that get the most testing and attention, I would suggest sticking to following the mainline documentation in https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io in an orderly fashion from start to finish.

Hello Casandra, There’s a list of supported features of xCAT 2.15? Because we hit this issue and we were scratching our heads for days. As far as I know there’s a lot of legacy code on the GitHub, and even some left overs on xcat-docs.readthedocs.io; the xcat mon is on this page for instance. We tried to use it because there’s still man pages for this, so we thought it was functional. Thank you. Vinícius.

Please fell free and welcome to open Pull Request if you want to make some modification. I saw some of commands are in the readthedocs https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/references/man1/monstart.1.html https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/references/man1/monstop.1.html Thanks, Casandra ...................................................................

I followed this doc: https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Monitoring_an_xCAT_Cluster/#ganglia-monitoring Is there any up to date documentation? I couldn't find it on readthedocs Regards De: Daniel Hilst Enviado: terça-feira, 10 de dezembro de 2019 17:11 Para: xCAT Users Mailing list <[email protected]> Assunto: What is the purpose of moncfg, monadd, monstart commands? I configuring ganglia on a cluster that runs xcat, and I came across this page I followed the instructions for ganglia, but I'm using openhpc ganglia so I did some modifications here or there. What I can't understand is what is the purpose of these commands? To configure computing nodes at ganglia configuration files? And monstart/monstop that they do?
