This may or may not be the answer to you. gmond itself does a reverse lookup of the IP of packets sent to it from other gmonds. The resultant name is purely up to a reverse DNS lookup. If this lookup works you get a hostname. fail and you get an IP. It is the reverse DNS lookup domain as executed from the gmond node that works as the "head node" for tcp communication to gmetad.
At least I think so. regards, richard -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Branimir Ackovic Sent: 21 December 2005 14:59 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] Name of cluster nodes On Wednesday 21 December 2005 15:56, Andrés Cañada wrote: > Hi! > In the ganglia's web interface I can see all the cluster nodes.

Thankyou! > I think that it is up to your name server. Are all nodes configured in name server? How do you configure gmond and gmetad conf files? ----- Branimir Ackovic E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://scl.phy.bg.ac.yu/ Phone: +381 11 3160260, Ext. 152 Fax: +381 11 3162190 Scientific Computing Laboratory Institute of Physics, Belgrade Serbia and Montenegro ----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
