One method I have heard of that achieves something similar; write a separate module that interprets the XML feed directly. This would allow you to completely control the resolution and time frame for the data you need. In the implementation I heard, this module was called by Nagios and would send out an alert if it sensed a problem. I was actually quite impressed because it means that Nagios doesn't need to run 80 bajillion processes to monitor many many hosts. Instead, it just listents to the XML stream from ganglia and notices when a host drops off the map or a metric goes out of where it's supposed to be. -ben -- Ben Hartshorne email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.hartshorne.net
