Bernard, No go. This doesn't have the patch that I sent to work the OSX issues in gmetad. It does have the suggestion by Brad, of putting an if statement in the read loop to test for the POLLUP. However, from the previous beta (3.0.5 on ~ Sept 10th) testing cycle and my email response back to the list after that beta, his suggestion doesn't work on OSX.
The reason is that the KERNAL is done reading off the socket and sets the POLLUP flag BEFORE gmetad finishes reading the entire buffer. Thus, by breaking out of the read loop before the entire buffer is read, we get an incomplete message, and thus the messages are discarded by the XML parser. The discarded messages results in incorrect display in the ganglia PHP, by stating that machines are down, gaps in monitoring, etc. Sorry. RC is a no go on OSX.
