Hi: I did try it. Everything seem to go fine, I got gmetad to start running.
My complilation did not create a gmond.conf file however, so I used a gmond.conf file from a 2.5.1 installation and tried to do the Gmond --convert old-gmond.2.5.1.conf > /etc/gmond.conf I notice that the old file seem to want port 8649 in the converted /etc/gmond.conf file but that the port in gmetad.conf file is 8651. Is this a problem. Further I specified that the ganglia installation use rrd. I gave user nobody owernship of the an rrd db directory as such: rrd_rootdir "/opt/gp31/rrd1049/db" however I do not see any databases being created in the "/opt/gp31/rrd1049/db directory. Any pointers? ~Lawrence -----Original Message----- From: Prakash Velayutham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 4:55 PM To: SORRILLO LAWRENCE Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] Gmetad and rrd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >So then your implying that gmetad has the intelligence to create it own >rrds databases? > >Lawrence > >-----Original Message----- >From: Prakash Velayutham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 12:29 PM >To: SORRILLO LAWRENCE >Cc: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] Gmetad and rrd > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > >>Hi: >> >> >> >>I have installed gmetad and RRD.
