Ganglia doesn't have a model for aggregating string-valued metrics. On the other hand, you can get a long way by having your metrics-gathering modules post a count *per string* (e.g., "www.yahoo.com:hits", 15); you'll have a ton, though, so you may want to use some sort of naming prefix to help organize them.
If you have ideas about how you'd like to see them aggregated, I for one would love to hear them; it's a fun problem to try to solve. -- ReC On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 9:13 AM, Archana N <dreamgirl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I am using Ganglia for monitoring lighttpd server statistics in a cloud > environment.
