I have several groups of machines, and different gmond.conf and gmetad.conf files are distributed to the various systems based on that group membership.

CFegnine has a number of simple, but very serviceable, features to prevent overwhelming a central server. There is also a similar program called "Puppet" with many similarities to cfengine. I believe that it has been adopted by Fedora/Red Hat as a supported management platform. -- Jesse Becker GPG Fingerprint -- BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list Ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
