When I installed ganglia/gmond, /etc/services
did not have an entry. Is it required?
Although I am still in the testbed stage with ganglia, I didn't need to
install anything extra on my Redhat 7.1 monitoring/exec-only boxes.
It should be as simple as installing and running gmond, unless you plan
on using gexec on the node in question in which case you need to
generate and distribute the public key and install gexecd and authd as well.
If I recall correctly, the instructions are in the docs. I remember
following them and, to my great amazement, everything worked.
I was sure I would have to tinker with a config file, but I telnettted
to 8649 and there were the metrics...
You should not have to modify /etc/services, inetd.conf, etc. ... at
most your /etc tinkering should be limited to:
* Adding the RSA key files.
* Putting the gmond / authd / gexecd init scripts into your init.d
directory.
* Symlinking to those scripts from the appropriate rc.* directory (or
chkconfig, where applicable) ...
