I finally had more time to play with the plugin on our test cluster and was able to get it to work. It seems that some of the libraries that were being referenced were not being provided in the libganglia download either. compiling that from scratch enabled me to get the gmond plugin working.
My question now is this: Currently the gmond plugin works via subscribing to the multicast group which is being fed by ganglia. One of our clusters here that I would like to collect data from using this plugin does not utilize the multicast features of ganglia, instead sending its data directly to a port on the host. I am not much of a networking guy, would it be difficult to get the gmond plugin to work under these circumstances, or is there an elegant workaround? The folks operating the cluster are not willing to change their ganglia communications. Ray Flanery -- Raymond E.
