Yes, this is possible, I'm currently running ganglia like this. I have a different gmond.conf for each subcluster. The only thing that changes between the gmond.conf's is the "name" and "mcast_channel", all other settings are the same. As for the gmetad.conf, here's the crucial part of it: data_source "Head Cluster" 300 10.10.1.19 data_source "Storage" 300 10.10.1.1 data_source "Monitor" 300 localhost
