i checked the mesg generated by gmond as it started. it gives unable to find multicast enabled interface. failed to find interface apart from lo.can the lo be made multicast enabled. i tried to set with ifconfig and have run gmond but it gives invalid argument. is there any way to enable multicast in loopback instead of having an ethernet interface.
plz do reply to me Hi, I had a similar problem and had to set a dial-up connection to get gmond working, otherwise it stays asking for a valid multicast-enabled interface. You can set debug_level to 100 in gmond.conf and start it manually with su nobody -c '/usr/sbin/gmond' to see exactly what it's happening. I hope this helps you.
