If by "format" you mean explanations of the ganglia metrics collected,

Hello,
I am trying to use gmond as our cluster monitor to provide running
applications with realtime host state and communication bandwidth
information. Since gmond sends XML messages over TCP connection,
listeners can be programed and used to receive and parse the messages
to obtain realtime information. Here is the problem: what is the
message format? Besides, I cannot find any APIs that support runtime
information retrieval from gmond.
Sorry if the question has been posted. I browsed the archieve and
cannot find any clue.
Thanks,
Maria
