Hello,

with the install documentation, I cannot have ganglia running on Tru64.
I missed something...

[ We have at IAP, ganglia fine installed on a small cluster :
http://clix.iap.fr:8080/ganglia-webfrontend/index.php 
on Mandrake linux through clic : it was a one step install ]


Now I want to have the same on a few DIGITAL Tru64.
One of these Tru64 will have also the Ganglia Web Frontend.

By browsing at the doc, It is not clear what I have to do.

QUESTION 1 :
Could one confirm that what need to done is the following :

1- install web+php on one source "that host the web" [collector]
2- install rrd on all the sources [ including the collector ]
3- install ganglia-monitor-core-2.5.3
4- configure the /etc/gmond.conf on all sources
5- configure the /etc/gmetad.conf on source [collector]
6- start gmond on all sources
7- start gmetad on the source [collector]

=====================================================================

Actually, I have installed the gmond + gmetad + webfrontend only on 1 node

QUESTION 2 : what is wrong with gmond ??? or gmetad ???

gmond returns data for CPU usage : [ encoded 8 XDR bytes ... ]
but also errors like :
mcast_thread() error multicasting


gmetad seems to run... at least I can "telnet machine 8651" and get XML
       stuff, but it says :
  "data_thread() got not answer from any [DEC Alpha] datasource"


After having donne this, I have gmond + gmetad running on
the source "web" [collector], but something is wrong, and I cannot figure
it out : seems to be the "mcast_xxx" things.



Starting gmetad returns :
./gmetad/gmetad.init start
Starting GANGLIA gmetad:
