Hey Matt:

There have been a few instances where nodes simply 'disappear' from the reports when they are actually down - I wonder if there were some setting errors?

Thanks,

Bernard

each ganglia machine sends out a periodic heartbeat message telling the
group "i'm here".  if the heartbeat messages stop for a particular
machine, then the other hosts mark it as dead.  if ganglia simply
stopped reporting information about it then you would never know one of
your hosts crashed and needs to be repaired.

How does ganglia determine whether a node is down or not? It seems that if a node went down the ganglia webpage would simply stop reporting information about it (as if it doesn't exist, instead of marking it as down).

Thanks,

Bernard
