Hi Khrist,

well that makes sense indeed.
All my VM's are running in a private cloud infrastructure so I have no control 
over their network characteristics.
But still, for instance, in gmetad I am gathering the data from node1, and 
node1's IP is in the same subnet as node2:

 - node1 IP= x.x.x.169
 - node2 IP= x.x.x.96

but in Ganglia frontend, I only get information from node1!!

Nevertheless, do I have to do any extra configuration to put multicast working? 
Because I did nothing in the gmonds. I just installed ganglia and ganglia-gmond 
and I left gmond.conf as default. Is this correct?

Cumprimentos / Best regards,
Cristóvão José Domingues Cordeiro

I had the same problem due to multicast packets not being routed between 
subnets.

Are your nodes on different subnets/VLANs?

There are some tools out there that will test multicast connectivity across 
subnets.  All that comes to mind for the moment is mping on AIX, but I know 
there are more for the various OS platforms.

I had to use unicast in the end, but I am still working on my network 
engineering team to enable multicast routing between subnets.

Hope that helps,

Khrist Hansen

Hi,

I'm trying to set the simplest of clusters with mcast. Basically I have one 
gmetad.conf where I just did:
    data_source "unspecified" node1

then, I have in one cloud, node1, node2, node3, node4 and node5.
All of these have default gmond installations with no changes in gmond.conf.

The problem is that in my frontend, I only get node1 and not the others.
Weren't they supposed to talk with each others and have all the metrics about 
each others?

Thanks
