Hi again,

can someone point to the code where action are taken upon the gmon 
configuration 'host_tmax' and 'host_dmax'? Because that's where the RRD 
physical hosts should be deleted in my opinion

Cumprimentos / Best regards,
Cristóvão José Domingues Cordeiro

Hi Adam,

Thanks. Yeah that might be the ultimate solution. But I guess this is a known 
problem Ganglia developers had to deal with before right? It's an unavoidable 
scenario that will break gmetad. There must be some kind of protection...

Hi all,

I have a Ganglia setup running with a 4Gb ramdisk.

I'm monitoring several  opportunistic clusters with short-lifetimed VM's which 
are renewed a lot, causing a huge number of down hosts in Ganglia.

Any solutions?

We have a cronjob that finds and purges RRDs that have not been modified in N 
days (currently 90 in most cases). I would also be interested in other peoples' 
solutions to this problem.
