[Ganglia-developers] Re: load_one/five/15 metrics on Windows clients?

[Matt Massie]

i just checked and it looks like load_one/etc is not implemented in cygwin. there IS a /proc/loadavg but that values in there are always set to 0.0 0.0 0.0. i created an artificially high load on my windows machine and it didn't change at all. bummmer.

there is a person on the ganglia team that is moving the metrics into windows native. it would just require some tweaking of ./srclib/libmetrics/cygwin/metric.c to call the windows api instead of processing a file that never changes.

Hey man!

Here is the relevant piece from our gmond.conf file:

collection_group {
  collect_every = 20
  time_threshold = 90
  /* Load Averages */
  metric {
    name = "load_one"
    value_threshold = "1.0"
  }
  metric {
    name = "load_five"
    value_threshold = "1.0"
  }
  metric {
    name = "load_fifteen"
    value_threshold = "1.0"
  }
}

We are indeed running the gmond clients on our Windows boxes. We can get the CPU metrics but the load_one/five/fifteen graphs stay at 0% I was starting to wonder if the load_one/five/fifteen metric was supposed to work on Windows clients at all - this is something we typically use on *nix boxes.

 Hi Matt –

 Have a quick question about the load_one/five/fifteen metrics on
 Windows clients.

 In order to see these statistics, do we need to run the SNMP agent on
 these clients?

no.. you just need to run gmond on the clients.

 If not, is there an easy way to change the front web page to show
 Cluster ****CPU** (which displays load correctly) instead of Cluster
 Load?

we are working on making the configurable in config.php. should be an option soon.

 BF2 is almost here – will send that out as soon as we get ours.

great!

 Thanks in advance – M.

your welcome.  good luck
