Hello...

        I've been using ganglia for several months.  Very cool!

        It seems to me the following should work, but I cannot seem to get the
configs right.  I have multiple grids that I would like to keep track of
with ganglia; SGE, database, webserver etc.  Maybe ten or twenty
separate farms groups.  I would like to have one (maybe a second as
backup) collector for all the different farms so that I can see all the
groups via one gmetad web frontend.

        So far I have not been able to get one central server to split up the
various groups.  Every server ends up in the same grid.  The only way
seems to be to have a 'leaf' server for each farm group with the central
server collecting data from each leaf.

        In my situation I have multiple switches, VLANs, networks, and
locations, so multicast doesn't work.  


e.g.  ( this does not work) 

cluster {
  name = "farm1"
}

udp_send_channel {
  host = ganglia-master
  port = 8649
}


cluster {
  name = "farm2"
}

udp_send_channel {
  host = ganglia-master
  port = 8650   # different port
}


on ganglia-master:
gmond.conf:
udp_recv_channel {
  port = 8649
  family = inet4
}
udp_recv_channel {
  port = 8650
  family = inet4
}
...

gmetad.conf:
data_source "farm1" localhost
data_source "farm2" localhost:8650




Am I missing something?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
