Perhaps something got screwed up when you called gmetric, and the XML
syntax is now broken for those nodes.
Did you call gmetric with the -d option? If not, the custom metric XML
will stay around forever as -d specifies a timeout for metric's.
Please try calling gmetric again for those custom metrics on the nodes
affected, but this time add '-d 1'. With DMAX set to 1, the metric will
timeout after 1 second and should override any old custom metric garbage
and disappear. If it broke the XML tree it should fix it.

Can anyone suggest what might have happened in the following?
I was trying to pull together a custom metric for ganglia and now,
the machines that it was set up on, their graphical data does not
appear on the Ganglia web pages even though the numerical information
is correct.
You can see the problem here:
http://128.100.71.70:81/ganglia/?
c=Yip_Lab_Systems&m=&r=hour&s=descending&hc=4
I restarted the head node that tracks everything, reset the RRDs, etc
and nothing seems to work. If I restart gmond on those affected
machines, you sometimes get a spike on the graph and then nothing -
again, the numerical information is correct, just no trend data...
I've since removed the custom metric but something else is messed up
and I can't figure out where the problem is - i.e. is it on the
clients that are providing the data, or the one that is collecting
it..?.. I did look on the list but the situations that talk about no
images refer to incorrect permissions, or the whole cluster is off -
in this case, it's only selected machines that seemed to be affected...
Thanks
Chris
