I'm in the process of installing this package on a distributed web
network. It's FreeBSD all around, and the nodes are installed from the
ports collection (FreeBSD 4.1 and Ganglia 3.0.1_2). Since multicast is
not an option, I've been setting up the nodes as unicast. Other than
that, the configuration is pretty much stock.
Relevant bits:
gmetad:
data_source "Web" 15 localhost 202.157.xx.xx 212.100.xx.xx
65.39.xx.xx ...
gmond:
cluster { name = "Web"}
udp_send_channel{
host = gmetad_host
port = 8649
}
udp_recv_channel {
port = 8649
}
I also removed reporting of some metrics that are erronious on BSD
anyway. All the nodes are using exactly the same config file.
I can telnet to the hub from the unconnected nodes, and can telnet from
the hub to the nodes.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I can only get three nodes to
register for the web front end?
Thanks.
