Slow down, there, Sparky. You still need to apply my rrd_helpers.c patch
to CVS. :)
I am shifting my focus right now to putting together an SGI package file
for the monitoring core... something I should have done a while ago,
actually. There's still no mtu_func in irix.c, and in my testing the real
func that we have on the other platforms fails spectacularly. libdnet in
general does not seem to do terribly well on SGI. So I have the dummy func
from Solaris in there right now.
The SGI mem and load stats look good (they consistently add up, at any
rate). But the CPU stats don't. This is about 40% of the reason I want to
genericize the CPU percentage calculation method across all platforms...
with the other 60% being laziness, of course!
I still see occasional gaps (three in the last hour, spaced out fairly
broadly between 10-30 minutes), but only on the (largest) Linux data
source. When I added the SGI test source, gmetad crashed after about 5-15
minutes. I put it back into debug mode and it's been running quite nicely
for about an hour.
Maybe it just wants to run in foreground. ;)
i'm going to work hard on the documentation to get it ready for today. i
pushed the latest docs out to the web server although they will be heavily
edited over the day.
http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/documentation.php
if you take a look and see something is out of order, let me know. i've
taken out all the execution environment documentation from the monitoring
core documenation. i think it was too confusing for people. i will put
the execution environment documentation in a separate document very soon.
Yaaaaay!
if someone has the time today, can you read the
ganglia-general/ganglia-developers mailing list and cut and paste a list
of frequently asked question for the FAQ? you don't need to worry much
about formatting it .. just mail it to me and i'll put them in the docbook
sgml. i'll do it myself otherwise.. if we don't have a taker.
I'll look this over today after the SGI stuff is out of the way but I make
no promises.
i think all the gangliittes out there are going to love 2.5.0.
For some reason I misread this as ... well, nevermind.
