Re: [Ganglia-developers] Gauging interest in writing a Ganglia eBook
Hello Michael, I'm actually interest in writing something. I can also contribute by translating the book to Portuguese, as a native speaker. However, I'm afraid that my skills in Ganglia are not sufficient to write the book, but I believe there would have something that I can definitely help. I agree that we have scattered materials all over the Internet, but nothing I could really say this is the place to go if you consider implementing Ganglia, regardless the scale of your implementation. I'll keep following the discussion on this matter and give my notes where I can help.

Re: [Ganglia-developers] Gauging interest in writing a Ganglia eBook
Thanks for volunteering, Frederiko! Given the quality of the people volunteering to write this book so far, I expect this book to be the *this is the place to go if you consider implementing Ganglia, regardless the scale of your implementation”* book. :) -Matt On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 2:09 PM, Costa, Frederiko fco...@stanford.eduwrote: Hello Michael, ** ** I’m actually interest in writing something.

Since I started using Ganglia for AIX and Linux on Power I have certainly given 25+ presentations on Ganglia - certainly with a focus on AIX and IBM Power systems - but there is surely enough suitable common material available, mostly in PowerPoint presentations that I could chip in Regards, Michael On 12/01/2011 08:31 PM, Matt Massie wrote: There's an O'reilly editor who's interested in publishing a ~50-page eBook on ganglia. ** ** I have no doubt the ganglia community would benefit from a book covering topics like: - Ganglia's components and overall architecture - Typical deployment configurations including simple steps for verifying an installation (e.g. unicast/multicast, single cluster/multiple distributed clusters/datacenter) - Navigating and using the new web interface - Tips for extending ganglia's functionality (e.g. gmetric, modules)*** * - Common integration points (e.g. Hadoop metrics, Nagios) - A simple step-by-step checklist for debugging common ganglia issues with pointers to our web site, mailing lists, irc channel, etc. - Supported platforms and core metrics - Scaling to clusters 1000 nodes These are just ideas off the top of my head and not meant to final or comprehensive but meant to provide a list for discussion. Of course, let me know if there's topics the community would like to know more (or less) about. The purpose of the book is to serve as a first-read book for people new to ganglia. Keep in mind, for much of the book, we won't be starting from scratch. We already have a good amount of documentation that just needs to be organized and edited. ** ** I'll be happy to contribute time to make this eBook a reality; however, I want the book authors to be the leaders and experts in the ganglia community. I think it best we divide and conquer and write the book as a team.
