What you need to do is specify one from each cluster, maybe a few more for redundancy, but you don't need each and every one. Everything with common metad ports will broadcast to the rest of it's cluster, and you need to get the data from only one of those machines..

Ah that makes sense.

But if I'm running gmond on each node in the subcluster do I need to specify 
each of them as datasources?  I'm not sure that makes sense especially if I 
have 1000 nodes each running gmond.  I know I'm missing something here and I 
appreciate all your continued help.

Hi Scott:

The different ip addresses showing in gmetad.conf is not the ip address
of the server running gmetad but instead one of the node (the headnode
of that subgroup, if you may), which runs gmond.

Check the syntax of the data_source tag, the ip/hostname listed there
refers to one or all the nodes in that subgroup/datasource.

Cheers,

Bernard

How does that work with the gmetad having 3 different IP addresses? My goal was to have one server running gmetad, rrd, and apache. Do I have to have gmetad running on another system to break my cluster into sub-clusters?

Thanks for the earlier reply.  I appreciate it.

Scott

I've successfully setup ganglia (thanks to everyone on this

1) Production Nodes
2) Remote Nodes
3) Test Nodes

I'm trying to do all this with one server running gmetad
for all the nodes in the cluster regardless of their different status. Is this even possible?
I've been playing with different multicast addresses and
xml addresses and haven't had much success. Has anyone ever tried this before?

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
