Perfect solution. I should add something to the documentation so others don't have to work so hard to find it. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to email me directly with questions (although I know the fun of figuring things out yourself too). > It is fine, it works (see > http://www.physik.uni-leipzig.de/Computer/ganglia/index.php), but some > problems remain: > > - gmetric does not work on the master node since it has no -i option. It does now. If you download and install the ganglia monitoring core version 2.1.1, you find gmetric supports multiple interfaces correctly now. Download it from the ganglia web site at http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/ . If you want to be emailed when a new version of ganglia is available, join the ganglia-announce mailing list at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-announce . > - How can I add clients from the 133.18.7.* network? Yes and No. It's not pretty now. In the future, I will add support for multiple simultaneous interface message processing. For now... you'll have to start a separate gmond process with the following options. ./gmond --xml_port 8650 --mcast_if eth1 You have to change the xml_port as to not conflict with the other gmond process listening to the private address space. Connecting to port 8649 will show you data on eth0 and connecting to port 8650 will show you data for the public address space. Also, I know you are using the -s --safe_host option.. in version 2.1.1 you need to change it to -t or --trusted_host (it does exactly the same thing but users found "safe_host" less descriptive than "trusted_host". > Many thanks for a fine piece of software! You're welcome. It's always good to hear from ganglia users out there. Good luck and congratulations to your country for doing such an outstanding job in the olympics! -matt
