However, this isn't what I'm getting at present. I have the 2 350s

gmond on the 2 3700s they are reported as nodes of one of the 350s and
that's not what I want.
If I am reading this correctly, you want each Altix to appear as its own
"cluster" and not have any info from the Dell server show up. If that is the
case, the easiest thing to do would be to configure gmond on each Altix to
only send results to itself, and allow connections from the Dell server to
retrieve data. Part of the gmond.conf file on each Altix would contain look
something like this:
cluster {
name = "Altix1"
}
udp_send_channel {
host = 1.2.3.4 /* Altix1 IP */
port = 8649
}
udp_recv_channel {
bind = 1.2.3.4
port = 8649
}
tcp_accept_channel {
port = 8649
}
And likewise for each other Altix (replacing the hostname and IP as
appropriate).
The Dell server would have a gmetad.conf file with lines like:
data_source "Altix1" 1.2.3.4
data_source "Altix2" 1.2.3.5
data_source "Altix3" 1.2.3.6
data_source "Altix4" 1.2.3.7
I've changed the udp_send_channel to point to the web server, but that's
not fixed it.
If you have gmond on the Altix send metrics to the web server, then you would
need to have gmond running there as well to collect them. But I think the
above setup is what you want.
If I read your requirements wrong, just post your current config files and I
can take a look at them.
