Cheers! /eli -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 3/30/2006 3:04 AM Cc: [email protected] Subject: [Ganglia-general] A script that checks clusters for down and duplicated hosts in clusters Fresh off the presses - others may find it useful too. This iterates through your clusters and finds dead hosts or duplicated host entries. Note that you can't find duplicated host entries by netcatting gmetad port 8651. You must do it as below: You will need to compile or otherwise have netcat (nc), but this is handy regardless.
