Hello, I've been testing ganglia 3.0.4 for monitoring our Platform LSF cluster and have been very pleased so far. I know that our users will want to see disk and nfs stats so I tried adding a few of these using scripts found in the gmetric repository. Everything was going great until I realized the all of the gmond processes in my cluster were growing - left unchecked they reached over 1GB in size!
After playing around a bit, I figured out that as soon as I started using gmetric to insert any custom metrics, all of the gmond processes in the cluster would immediately start to grow (they start off around 28MB's) and continue growing over time. I found this to be the same using Ganglia 3.0.4 or 3.0.3 binaries. I'm assuming that I'm missing something obvious given I see no other reports of this problem and this happens no matter how I try to use gmetric. For example, if I use the following: /usr/bin/gmetric --conf=/etc/gmond.conf -nmystat -v1.0 -tfloat -uunits Run every minute from all 200 hosts in my cluster, I will see gmond start growing in size almost immediately. Any suggestions would be appreciated. In the mean time, I'm not using gmetric at all and gmond is staying right around 29MB's in size. --RRP ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
