Re: [Ganglia-general] multicast not working
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?

Weren't they supposed to talk with each others and have all the metrics about each others?

Re: [Ganglia-general] multicast not working
Yes, that is correct insofar as I know. Even though your nodes are on the same subnet, your private clouds network config may still be preventing multicast in some way. Assuming your OS is some flavor of Linux, I would try one of the freely available tools to test multicast routing between node1 and your other nodes. A quick google search led me to these tools: * mz * ssmping * iperf http://serverfault.com/questions/211482/tools-to-test-multicast-routing From: Cristovao Jose Domingues Cordeiro [mailto:cristovao.corde...@cern.ch] Sent: Friday, March 21, 2014 4:23 AM To: Khrist Hansen; ganglia-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Ganglia-general] multicast not working Hi Khrist, well that makes sense indeed.

[Ganglia-general] Google Summer of Code 2014
Hi Daniel and ganglia users! I am Shreya (LinkedInhttp://in.linkedin.com/pub/shreya-inamdar/2b/102/a0b/), a senior year undergraduate of computer science. I recently heard about GSoC from one of my friends and I wanted to apply though it is a bit late for sending the proposals. I have used Ganglia for getting statistics about workload which was used for migration of VMs in a small cluster of 4 VMs, as a part of cloud computing course. I have done courses on data mining, artificial intelligence, cloud computing. Some assignments that are relevant to the project I plan to apply for are 1. Building a GO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game) bot that plays against itself, using monte carlo tree search 2. Setting up a cluster of 4-5 VMs on a physical machine with a basic single system interface built from scratch, and performing migration at suitable workloads I plan to submit a proposal for the data science project.

Re: [Ganglia-general] Google Summer of Code 2014
Hi Shreya, Please do go ahead and submit the proposal. The deadline is today, 19:00 UTC See my earlier emails in the list archives for ideas about writing the proposal You should focus on one of the project ideas that will use your strongest development skills Regards, Daniel On 21/03/14 17:13, Shreya Inamdar wrote: Hi Daniel and ganglia users!

[Ganglia-general] GSoC application progress, mentor opportunities
The student application deadline has just passed Ganglia has received 24 applications from a wide range of students around the world The most popular projects have been the data science and NVIDIA GPU monitoring projects - they account for half the applications alone. The mentoring team now has to review the applications and ask Google to fund however many projects we feel to be viable. If any other members of the community wish to becoming involved in mentoring any of the students, please contact the GSoC admins, Bernard and myself and we'll fill you in. -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book Graph Databases is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
