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.
this is fixed in the 2.6.0 configuration file. you can specify as many unicast channels as you like.
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.
this can be done. i think the smartest solution is to have gmetric read the local gmond.conf file and send to all send channels (of course with a commandline override).
