Hi,
I just want to know if there is a way to configure ganglia to just
access the system resouce information from PBS instead from the gmond
sensors on the compute nodes. PBS's pbsnodes commands provide most of
the information that ganglia publishes so it will be good if I won't
have to install gmond on the compute nodes anymore and just install
ganglia on the head node of our cluster.
Is there any other information that ganglia provides that PBS job
manager doesn't? Your answer to this question will help me persuade our
systems administrator in installing ganglia on our production machine.
The reason why I need ganglia on our production machine is because it
can easily interface with MDS which is the resource registry that we
will be using in the Australian Grid. There is also a ganglia
information provider that I can just easily plug into our system to make
it start publishing cluster/system information into the MDS.
Thanks,
Gerson
