I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. Why couldn't the nagios plugin connect to a gmond on one of the nodes in each cluster and parse the XML. It should also have a timeout to go to another node, if the "primary" happens to be down.
I see ganglia's purpose as to collect performance information, not monitor services. I think it makes more sense to keep these functions separate. However, I think writing nagios plugins to utilize ganglia information makes sense. --Shane [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > Sadly, Nagios doesn't play well with Ganglia.
