Saundry, It sort of looks like you can, but actually you can't. gmetad writes to rrd databases as local files, and the web and php read rrd databases as local (actually it invokes rrdtool itself). I imagine you could separate the two using NFS filessystems, but I have not tried this.
kind regards, Richard Grevis Production Architecture Barclays Capital, Canary Wharf, London, E14 4BB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of saundrya mishra Sent: 29 March 2007 14:30 To: ganglia-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Ganglia-general] Gmetad and web frontend on different machines. Hi There, I am new to Ganglia. Can we have gmetad and web frontend for a cluster to be running on two different machines?? If yes, then how is it possible since i read in the configuration file of the web frontend that the RRDTool databases need to be local to be read?
