There is a new BETA tarball and RPMs on the Ganglia testing site
(http://www.ganglia.info/testing/). The following includes a list of
enhancements and bug fixes that are currently available in this testing BETA
release.
* gmond/gmetad: Sync-up the default values for the cluster section of
gmond with the default gmond.conf so that a cluster name will always
be present. The gmetad code can not handle a host with no associated
cluster, therefore the gmond code must always include a cluster XML tag.
Bug #200
* gmond: Add an 'enabled' directive to the module section so that a
module can easily be enabled or disabled through the configuration
file
* gmond: reformat memory metrics to match pre 3.1 style
* gmond: -r support for transforming 2.5 configurations
* gmond: add boolean option to 'allow_extra_data' generation (BUG199)
* gmond: include localhost in translated (-r) trusted_hosts from 2.5
* gmetad: skip unresponsive sources (BUG92)
* libganglia: mcast_if support in gmond (BUG140)
* web: add boolean option for using hostname without domainname for graphs
* web: add host atrributes into metric list (BUG30)
* web: metric group enhancements for host view (BUG203)
* web: add option for configurable number of columns in cluster view (BUG194)
* web: make number of metric columns in host view configurable (BUG194)
* Allow both a C and python module to create a metric that will spoof a
specific host. This provides the same spoofing functionality as gmetric
but through a metric module. It is done by adding SPOOF_HOST and
SPOOF_NAME as extra metadata to the metric description
* gmond: mod_python support for versions older than 2.3 or newer than 2.4
* mod_python: Change the way that the python module path is added to better
support the Solaris platform. It is also a cleaner way to add the
python path programmatically rather than altering the PYTHON_PATH
environment variable.
* gmetric: Support the short commandline parameter format when spoofing
a heartbeat metric.
* Bug fixes and Enhancements
This is just a testing BETA release that is not yet ready for production use.
Please test this code and let us know if we have missed or broken anything.
Thanks,
Brad
