Re: [Ganglia-general] Configuration problem after failover
Well, I should defer to folks who have actually configured this stuff in the last year or three, but IIRC, this could happen because the admin node gmond that is acting as the collector for all the compute nodes is reporting statistics to itself. Its other gmond is also doing that. The configuration file for the compute collector gmond should be set up not to collect any statistics on the local node. IIRC, that may require a bit more work than just making it mute; e.g., you may have to remove any parts that identify what to collect on that machine. OTOH, if you haven't restarted the main admin gmetad (or the compute collector gmond), then your hypothesis about stale RRD files might be right. If you don't care about what's been collected so far, you can try just removing the files for those nodes within that cluster's directory and restarting gmetad. -- ReC On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 4:11 AM, Loris Bennett loris.benn...@fu-berlin.de wrote: Rick Cobb rick_c...@ieee.org writes: Generally what you do is have all the compute nodes send to a gmond server on the administrative nodes, and then have gmetad poll that gmond.
