Hey all,

     I don't know if this is even possible with ganglia.  I THOUGHT I
had this working before but now I'm not sure.

     Here's sort of what's going on.


     N   N   N   N   N   N      
     |   |   |   |   |   |
     |   |   |   |   |   |
   ========================     N are production servers
             |
             |
             O                  O is the batch cluster master
             |
             |
      =================         M are batch cluster cruncher engines
      |   |   |   |   |
      |   |   |   |   |
      M   M   M   M   M

     I can create a cluster I can view from ganglia by putting gmond
on all the N nodes and a gmetad/rdd/httpd on one of them.  Works
great.  I can do the same thing by putting gmond on the batch nodes,
M, and gmetad/rdd/httpd on the O batch master node.  I have to tell
O's gmond to use eth1 because that's the side the batch engines are
on.  Sparately they work great.  

     Now I'd like to make a grid.  I'd the the N side gmetad to get
the information from the O side gmetad and display a grid such that I
can see either cluster, the N side or the M side, from one We page.
As I said I though I had this working once but not I'm no longer
certain.  I've seen what appear to be examples of what I want to do
from the examples listed on the ganglia Web pages.  But I'm having the
devil's own time making it happen.  I have another batch cluster I'd
like to monitor as well.

     I can't get the O cluster to give its data to the N side gmetad.
And yes I've defined the N node in the O node's gmetad.conf as a
trusted host.  They are talking but that cluster only shows the data on
the N side of things not the M side, which I thought it used to do
and which the examples seem to be showing it should be doing.  

     Help would be greatly appreciated about now.  Thank you.
