[Ganglia-developers] truncated XML from gmond in 3.0.0

[Matt Massie]

reports on 3.0.0 have been mostly positive but there is one annoyance that seems to be effecting many users so i thought i'd report a simple workaround to prevent others from getting frustrated by the same problem.

for example,

tcp_accept_channel {
   port = 8649
   timeout = -1
}

if you find that gmond truncates the XML output on your tcp_accept_channel, the easiest solution is to set the timeout to -1. this will prevent gmond from timing out writing to the socket since it will use a blocking write if the timeout is negative.
