Re: [Ganglia-developers] Metric Grouping Support on Individual Host Page(Gweb)

You might want to consider summarizing the statistics for all the GPUs on the node - this is the approach taken by sFlow agent: http://sflow.org/sflow_nvml.txt FYI Gmond natively understands the sFlow GPU metrics: http://blog.sflow.com/2012/10/using-ganglia-to-monitor-gpu-performance.html

Adrian, The Host sFlow agent exports UUIDs (and is compatible with Ganglia 3.2+). http://blog.sflow.com/2011/07/ganglia-32-released.html The daemon relies on command utilities invoked at startup to find the UUID (for reasons of portability that Dave mentioned). You could take a look at the

It would be very easy to eliminate the dependency on the JSON library entirely. The JSON library is useful if you want import JSON, or export complex structures. However, in this case where the only requirement is to export a simple hash table the library isn't necessary. Exporting the gmond

I think a JSON option would make the gmond data more accessible. If the hood is going to be open on the transport, an HTTP option would further open up access to the data. HTTP would provide a way to pass query arguments and return specific metrics, or metrics for a particular host, tag etc. I
