host is supposed to be the target host; the host *to which* you want
gmond to sond its data. Likely, this will be your collecting host,
where all the data shows up and where you are running gmetad and have
the web front end installed. I think setting localhost is probably a
mistake; the local gmond already has all the info for this host - why
would it want to send it to itself?
Or are you installing gmetad and the web frontend on every host so at
any given host you only have the data for that host? That would kinda
suck, in my opinion... ;) But if you were, you could probably just
leave out the udp_send_channel section entirely since the gmond has all
the data it needs without sending it to itself.
