It probably isn't common, but using an old gmetad with the new 2.5.7
webfrontend scripts will cause an error from this code in
get_ganglia.php which is assuming a grid tag must be present:
# If we have no child data sources, assume something is wrong.
if (!count($grid))
{
print "<H4>Ganglia cannot find a data source. Is gmond
running?</H4>";
exit;
}
Shouldn't the error message say gmetad not gmond? Is a grid tag really
necessary for the webfrontend to function? If I comment this code out
the web page looks fine to me.
