As Mr. Spock would say, "fascinating." Behold, the contents of /etc/gmetad.conf at the crucial end: # Where gmetad stores its round-robin databases # default: "/var/lib/ganglia/rrds" # rrd_rootdir "/some/other/place" rrd_rootdir "/home/m254/rrdtool"
And indeed, /home/m254/rrdtool has what it is supposed to have. [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# ls /home/m254/rrdtool/ monad cluster __SummaryInfo__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# However, as noted before, /var/lib/ganglia/rrds had nothing in it. When the empty directory /var/lib/ganglia/rrds was replaced with a symbolic link to the new rrd_rootdir, the graphs returned!! [EMAIL PROTECTED] ganglia]# pwd /var/lib/ganglia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ganglia]# ls -latrs total 3 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 1024 Feb 2 15:35 rrds.nowitsalink 1 drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 1024 Mar 2 17:18 .. 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 5 23:43 rrds -> /home/m254/rrdtool/ 1 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Apr 5 23:43 . [EMAIL PROTECTED] ganglia]# So, the configuration file is not being heeded, or else, if the /var/lib/ganglia/rrds directory is present, the new location is ignored. We are using: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ganglia]# uname -r 2.4.20-6smp [EMAIL PROTECTED] ganglia]# And, rpm reports that the relevant packages are: ganglia-monitor-core-gmetad-2.5.6-1 ganglia-monitor-core-gmond-2.5.5-1 Have I erred? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
