Nothing has been done for this feature in the current implementation of gmetad. However, the rewrite of gmetad in python will be able to accommodate this type of feature. What I mean by "accommodate" is that the gmetad-python version has implemented a pluggable interface and uses an RRD plug in to write metric data to RRD files. This means that rather than having the RRD functionality built into gmetad itself, the RRD functionality can be plugged and replaced. That would mean that for most people, they would probably want to use the standard RRD plugin. For you or anybody else that wanted it, you could replace the standard RRD plugin with one that has been modified to create directories using the UUID rather than host names. As far as gathering a UUID from a host, this can be done already by simply implementing a UUID metric module. Then when the gmetad-python RRD storage module sees the UUID metric for a host, that is what it would use for the directory name. So the short answer is that no direct work has been done for this wish list item. However, it can be solved using Ganglia 3.1 and the new gmetad-python rewrite.
