Hey all - Wondering if there's ever been any talk about serving up the interactive port info via REST? Lots of talk these days in my circles about how awesome it would be to give other applications (think auto-configuration management, trending tools, etc.) access to host, cluster, and grid metrics.
My mind actually blows when I think of the possibilities if it were there. With all of the crazy talk these days about auto-scaling in cloud infrastructure, one could then use these metrics to decide if and when to bring up new instances of servers (and how many) to handle increasing load. So, something built-in to make: echo "/WWW/www1.flickr.mud.yahoo.com/apache_procs_busy/" | nc gmetad.hostname 8652 into http://gmetad.hostname:8652/WWW/www1.flickr.mud.yahoo.com/apache_procs_busy/ (and all of the other stuff you can get from the interactive port) I'd bet that all of the requests to bolt-on alerting mechanisms would go away if other alerting/escalation tools could get the real stuff out of ganglia, too. :) Thoughts? allspaw ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
