Hi, I have recently installed Ganglia (gmond, gmetad, and web frontend) without an problems. The RPMs really make it easy.
Here's what I installed (in case its important): ganglia-monitor-core-2.5.0-1.i386.rpm ganglia-webfrontend-2.5.0-1.i386.rpm My only problem is that I don't want all the metrics that are being supplied from gmond. I guess I could tell the web frontend to not display the ones I don't want, but after searching through the PHP for a little while, it looks like it just takes everything that is reported in the XML feed and shoves it into the $metric array, which then gets turned into a graph at some point. So, probably the easiest thing would be to stop gmond from reporting the metrics I am not interested in. Right? Is that possible? Am I missing some documentation somewhere that says how to do this? I am new to ganglia, so please forgive me if this is common knowlege. If this has been answered already, just point me to the docs! :) Thanks! Jeremy Mason
