Hi, we're planning to use ganglia in a Java environment and thus need these two things:
1. from Java/J2EE application update a specific metric: We'll probably use a lot of user-defined metrics and some of them will be updated every second, so running gmetric every time is probably not the best thing to do. Since gmetric is just a call to the ganglia library, we're thinking of just calling the library directly from Java. 2. read the data in Java; we'll need the data in real-time, so this should be fast: Here the plan is to listen on the multicast channel and process the data directly in Java. However, we don't know how to parse the packet data. Do you have any suggestions? I know there was some discussion about Java some time ago so I'm wondering if somebody already has this code written. Thanks a lot, Peter
