[Ganglia-developers] 2.5.8 unicast feedback

[Adeyemi Adesanya]

Hi.

I have just been testing  
ganglia-monitor-core-2.5.8.200411241228.tar.gz that I downloaded from 
Matt's web site. Happy to see that the Solaris code uses kstat instead 
of kvm and the network-related metrics are present :-)

However, the unicast interface does not allow me to specify multiple 
channels. I tried listing multiple "send_channel" entries in my 
gmond.conf file and only the last one is effective. If I recall, the 
2.6.x beta releases supported this feature. Perhaps it was accidentally 
left out. It's obviously needed since you may wish to send the data to 
multiple recipients for backup/fallback purposes.

Could be nice gmetric also accepted multiple channel commandline 
arguments but there's nothing preventing me from simply running the 
command several times with a different channel argument for each 
instance of the call.
