this is a feature that i'm willing to perfect a little better with some feedback.

currently, there are two attributes "allow_ip" and "allow_mask".

if take a look at
http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/group__apr__network__io.html#ga35

you will see two functions apr_ipsubnet_create() and apr_ipsubnet_test().

here is a page on CIDR
http://public.pacbell.net/dedicated/cidr.html

i don't like the current ACL as i have them. there should be a way to choose "allow deny" or "deny allow" order. there should be a way to specify multiple allow and deny domains. it's pretty weak as it is.

ideas? solutions?

maybe have

acl_order = "allow deny"  /* or "deny allow" or "deny" or "allow" */

and then only

allow = <array of CIDR notation domains>
deny  = <array of CIDR notation domains>

i don't know how complex we want to make this.

Hi.

No trouble with building/installing on Solaris this time. I've started looking at gmond and getting familiar with the new configuration format. Can you please provide examples of how to use 'allow_ip' and 'allow_mask' to restrict what hosts can send data and request data from gmond? I'm having trouble with this at the moment. Does it currently function?

Subject: [Ganglia-developers] feature complete 2.6.0. snapshot

guys-

i've just finished up a first crack at a feature-complete 2.6.0. you can upload it from

http://matt-massie.com/ganglia/ganglia-2.6.0.200501241924.tar.gz

this snapshot includes code for cleaning up old hosts and old gmetric messages. the host_dmax value for gmond is set in the globals section of the configuration file.

globals {
  host_dmax = 3600 /* if a host hasn't been heard from in an hour,
                      delete it */
}

the gmetric message dmax values are part of the gmetric message (being set on the commandline by gmetric).

as far as i'm concerned this is a feature-complete snapshot. i will add not more features unless paid 1 billion dollars.

i will focus over the next week on testing the heck out of it and stomping out any obvious bugs (federico just dropped one into bugzilla about gmetad).

i want 2.6.0 out the door as soon as possible. please drop any bug reports into bugzilla.ganglia.info. send praise and scorn to the developers list.

looking forward to hearing your experiences -matt
