Hi,
I have just installed ganglia 3.0.2 on a cluster with Fedora Core 2.
I built it OK from the source.
For my default gmon.conf file, I used the output of
gmond -t
and the updated the cluster name field.
The rest seems set up to use multicasting to share
metrics between gmond processes on different nodes.
The trouble is that it doesn't. Telnetting to the xml
port only downloads info for the local host. Ditto
when using gmtetad.
It looks like the gmond processes aren't sharing their metrics.
Anyone have any idea on what I am doing wrong ??
netstat shows the following established socket
udp 0 0 jac-20:38020 239.2.11.71:8649
ESTABLISHED 3355/gmond
Any help gratefully accepted. I have attached my gmond.conf file
