prashant- so when a node in the cluster dies the cluster size changes but the dead node is not reported?
this is a new problem that i haven't heard of before. did gmond get restarted after the node failed? ganglia knows the a node dies when it stops getting heartbeats from a machine that it previously heard from. if gmond is getting restarted somehow it wouldn't know about the dead node because it hasn't even received a single heartbeat from it (remember that everything in gmond is soft state). is it possible that your gmond data source was restarted after the node died? i'm sure if we walk through this we'll find the solution to the problem. -- matt Yesterday, Prashant Bhamidipati wrote forth saying... > Hi Steven / Matt, > > I have Ganglia up and running on two farms and everything was > working well till 2 days back. > > One of the machines on a farm was lost due to a network connection > problem. > > But ganglia still shows all nodes to be up and running ( ??? ) How can > I rectify this problem. > > For eg: If from 12 nodes, one died out, ganglia tells me that there are 11 > nodes inthe cluster and all are up and working i.e: there are zero nodes > down.
