[Ganglia-general] gmond sampling/multicast samling interval

[Mike Gehl]

Which values do I need to change in the gmond/metric.h file in order to 
ensure all data retrieved via a telnet request to localhost's port 8649 
is no more than 5 seconds out of date?

I have adjusted the cpu_* state metrics check_min values to 1 and 
check_max to 2; as I understood it, this should multicast an update 
every (between) 1 and 2 seconds each time the various cpu_* values 
change more than the threshold value. I rebuilt gmond, restarted the 
daemon, and check the effects.

I must have understood incorrectly ;-), as a monitor daemon I run only 
sees updates at the usual 15 or so seconds, so I must be missing 
another key value. Would the heartbeat or some of the read and write 
values need to be changed as well?

TIA,

Mike
