Kim,

I got the tarball to which you'd put up the link earlier on in the mailing
list. I got your module to work no problem there!

But, I have a question: 

All the Ganglia modules have a metric array. The mod_cpu has this:

static Ganglia_25metric cpu_metric_info[] = 
{
    {0, "cpu_num",    1200, GANGLIA_VALUE_UNSIGNED_SHORT, "CPUs", "zero",
"%hu",  UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "Total number of CPUs"},
    {0, "cpu_speed",  1200, GANGLIA_VALUE_UNSIGNED_INT,   "MHz",  "zero",
"%u",  UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "CPU Speed in terms of MHz"},
    {0, "cpu_user",     90, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "Percentage of CPU utilization that occurred
while executing at the user level"},
    {0, "cpu_nice",     90, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "Percentage of CPU utilization that occurred
while executing at the user level with nice priority"},
    {0, "cpu_system",   90, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "Percentage of CPU utilization that occurred
while executing at the system level"},
    {0, "cpu_idle",     90, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "Percentage of time that the CPU or CPUs were
idle and the system did not have an outstanding disk I/O request"},
    {0, "cpu_aidle",  3800, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "Percent of time since boot idle CPU"},
    {0, "cpu_wio",      90, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "Percentage of time that the CPU or CPUs were
idle during which the system had an outstanding disk I/O request"},
    {0, "cpu_intr",     90, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "cpu_intr"},
    {0, "cpu_sintr",    90, GANGLIA_VALUE_FLOAT,          "%",    "both",
"%.1f", UDP_HEADER_SIZE+8, "cpu_sintr"},
    {0, NULL}
        
};


Now, what if the number of metrics that my module monitors changes? Ie If I
want to monitor 5 metrics today but 10 tomorrow- Is it possible to
dynamically initialize the metrics somehow?

Will the following work:


For (how many ever metrics)
{
cpu_metric_info[i]= appropriate string
}

And put this for loop in the metric_init function..

Will that do the trick?

Thanks,
Sylvester
