Params is a valid token for module, but it was used as a token for pymodule
here (where it is apparently invalid) resulting in :
no such option 'params'
Parse error for '/etc/ganglia/gmond.conf'
using libconfuse 2.5 as provided by the system and a modified example.pyconf
to match the instructions which I thought where probably outdated.
# head /etc/ganglia/conf.d/example.pyconf
modules {
pymodule {
name = "example"
params = "Raw string parameter"
param RandomMax {
value = 600
}
param ConstantValue {
value = 112
}
I agree it probably makes sense to be able to use 'params' in both cases but
if that should be working now then we have a bug to fix before reverting the
documentation.

PS. the documentation for configuring python modules might make more sense in
a README in python_modules IMHO, modules/python being a better place about
"python_module" and its configuration.
