Just select one or two nodes per *cluster* to run "gmond" in TCP receive mode and let all other nodes send data to them. Use the selected node(s) as data source for "gmetad". Much better network usage compared to the multicast mode, which produces traffic going up with N*N. And you don't have to worry about switches blocking IGMP traffic. 5 Datasources schould be no problem for "gmetad". I have no idea about 100 or more. > Can someone suggest something clever to get windows node producing > ganglia data in a lightweight way? This likely needs a native client.
