collect_every manages how often gmond sends out particular metric to other gmond(s). It is completely independent of gmetad.

I realize that.  But if I set the polling rate to say 60 seconds (or any value) in gmetad then the gmond setting "collect_every" doesn't seem to do anything. I can set it to any value and it still collects at 60 second interval. I guess my question is what does "collect_every" actually do?

Hi Brad,

The standard rate of polling interval is 15 second.

If you want to increase it you should define the data sources as the following:
data_source 10 "cluster_name" <host1> <host2>...

10 means the polling interval is 10 seconds for this cluster.

Thanks

Subject: [Ganglia-general] collect_every vs gmetad polling?

I'm using ganglia to submit data directly to a carbon server with use with Graphite/Grafana.  It works great, but I'm having issues understanding granularity of the data.  It seems like my data comes in at a rate equal to the polling interval I set in the gmetad.conf's 'data_source' attribute.  The "collect_every" attribute seems to do absolutely nothing to influence this rate.  What am I missing?

Ideally, I'd like gmetad and/or gmond to collect at a rate much faster than what is sent to the carbon server.  Is this possible?  For instance, can I collect my data and cache it at say once every 2 seconds, but then only send it every few minutes to the carbon server?

Thank you,
Brad H
