Dear Sir:
I am a graduate student in Louisiana Tech University currently doing research
on Ganglia. I am trying to find out how gangia monitor core works to get the
hardware information from the node. I searched the web but can not find
information on this field. Most of the documents only tell you how to install
Ganglia. I know you are the founder of Ganglia project. Can you give me some
suggestion on what document to read and where to get the relevant
information? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your help. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
I'm not the founder of the project - any sources reporting this are
incorrect. That honor falls to Matt Massie.
The manner in which Ganglia collects metrics varies from platform to
platform. Download the source and look in
$DIRECTORY_NAME/gmond/machines/$YOUR_FAVORITE_PLATFORM.c to see how it's
done. On Linux, it's mostly through procfs.
Have fun!
