Hi Jason,
 
Note that the timestamps are the same.
 
when this error occurs on the summary graphs, but not host graphs, check
whether 2 clusters have the
same cluster name. Note that the cluster names are not defined by that
string on the data_source, it comes
from the gmond.conf of the host mentioned for the data_source ni
gmetad.conf.
 
If you also get this error on host rrd files too, then you may be
including the same cluster twice in gmetad.conf.
 
If you get errors just on a single host, there may be an error in
reverse dns entries (gmond does a reverse lookup
to see where a ganglia packet comes from).
 
In all cases, do a "nc ganglia-server-host 8651". Check whether whether
cluster names or host names occur
more than once. If they do, you have something to fi.
 

kind regards,

                        I'm curious about how "possible" or difficult it
would be to make
                        gmetad 
                        backwards compatible -- i.e. where I could leave
my 2.5.x gmond 
                        installations alone, and install 3.x gmetad on
my main server (and be
                        
                        able to collect stats despite having a
heterogeneous 2.5.x and 3.x 
                        environment). This would allow me to (hopefully)
live-migrate my
                        ganglia 
                        install up to the new version.

                Hi Jason,
                
                 although we bumped the major number in the 2.5.x -> 3.0
transition, we
                took care to not introduce incompatible changes to the
core metrics
                framework. In short, I see no reason why a 3.0.4 gmetad
should not be
                able to query 2.5.x gmond data.
                
                 It should even be possible to have a 3.0.4 gmond listen
to older
                gmonds. Of course, you are limited to multicast until
you have replaced
                all gmonds.
                  

        Jan  3 23:12:07 intranet1 ./gmetad[25006]: RRD_update
(/var/lib/ganglia/rrds/Dev Login
Servers/__SummaryInfo__/part_max_used.rrd): illegal attempt to update
using time 1167883927 when last update time is 1167883927 (minimum one
second step)
        
        I've been receiving repeated errors like this attempting to use
a 3.0.x gmetad with a 2.5.7 gmond. The times are synced perfectly to a
local NTP server, so I'm sure that's not the issue.
