I have a little question. How does ganglia store STRING metrics? They cannot be stored in RRD files. Am I right?
You are correct. Looking at my rrd files, I can see that none of the string metrics have their values stored. I believe that the only value "stored" is the value that happens to be currently residing in memory of the gmond/gmetad processes. The web frontend just gets the current value from gmetad for the string metrics.
