doug- just a little history of the location tag. the force behind the web-frontend is Federico Sacerdoti (a great developer from the Grids and Clusters group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center).
the NPACI Rocks cluster installation (http://rocks.npaci.edu/) automagically names each cluster node in a standard way. the web-frontend uses that name (which has x,y,z coordinated in it) to make a nice rack view. i asked him to add a location tag for people who don't name the names in the same way. if you use Rocks, then you don't need to use cfengine.. it should just work. (correct me if i'm wrong federico). we are going to do things differently in the future. you're right to be annoyed that you have to have a customized /etc/gmond.conf on each host to make it work. we'll figure out a better way in coming releases. -matt Today, Doug Nordwall wrote forth saying... > Hmm, after attending our last meeting on our cluster, I think I can do > what I want using cfengine. > On Tuesday, October 8, 2002, at 09:48 AM, Steven Wagner wrote: > > > Doug Nordwall wrote: > >> Are we talking about the same location variable? > > > > Yes. :) > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _______________________________________________ > Ganglia-general mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-general >
