Hi Alex: Initially I thought that your code is standalone and could just be checked into ganglia/web/contrib/<contrib_name>. However, if it requires patching... I'm not sure if that's the best way to do this - do we normally include patches in the contrib/ directory? Regarding the gmetrics repository - I think it would be great if we can get that back... I don't remember exactly about the history of it but obviously an automated system got abused previously and that's why it was taken down. I guess for now I don't mind being the "gate-keeper" so people can submit them to me and I'll put them up on the website. Do other folks have any comments regarding this? Matt, Martin, can you give me access to the webpage? Cheers, Bernard

That could help minimize naming conflicts and let user easily determine where the relevant code is located. If you'd like, I could modify the patch to work this way. I'd also love to see the gmetrics repository reopen for user contributions. I have some GPFS and dstat related scripts other may find useful. Let me know how you want it and I'll open a bugzilla entry.
