Hi all.
We have been testing ganglia here implemented in about 250 machines.
By the way, good job on the tool guys.
We've been peeking at the conf files namely gmetad.conf and we found
this commented option about Custom Round-Robin archives.
The thing is, we wanted to be able to have a RRA of our own who could
aggregate all the 5 minute PDP for a whole year. See what I mean ;), So
we wouldn't lose granularity while reading directly from the rrd files.
We tried adding this to the gmetad.conf
RRAs "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:105408" being 105408 the number of 5 minutes in
a year.
But we still haven't noticed any change nor the rrd files have grown
enough to accommodate the new RRA.
How can we manage to do this?
Do we need to start the whole colection process again, erasing the
previous data and files?
Will it work with this new option?
Is this syntax for the conf file correct?
Tkx in advance,
PECastro
