[Ganglia-general] Two similar linux hosts provides different metrics

2007-01-11 Thread Vitaly Karasik
Hi, I have a weird problem - two linux hosts with similar configuration provide very different metrics about number of running processes - one shows about 2, and second about 20-40 (I speak about concentrated load graph at top right.) proc_total is different too - 171 vs. 350 (BTW, ps -ef
