Hi, I have downloaded ganglia 2.52 and managed to monitor 600+ Linux nodes (seperated into 4 clusters due to different network switches) from a semi-dedicated gmetad server, which also runs apache.
This gmetad server is a dual PIII 1GHz Linux machine (Redhat 7.3) with 512 MB RAM. Seems to me it is marginally adequate to support all the current monitoring activities. We have noticed the memory usages on this gmetad server were mostly consumed by apache services (each instance of apache process took ~30MB memory), not by gmetad (only 6KB memory each) itself, so I assume it is just the matter an under-powered machine. Am I on the right track here? Or what may be the better way to architect a system like this? please advice, thanks, Regards, +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Syu, Jr-Jung (Joseph) (630)840-5718 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fermilab/Computing Division +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
