I think this is an excellent idea. I'm giving a talk about capacity planning at the upcoming MySQL Conference, and since we here at Flickr use ganglia extensively, I'll be plugging how great it is. It'd be good to point at how many people use and have modded it. :)

All, Like many Ganglia users, we have modified the PHP a lot, changed some C code a bit, and added a whole lot of functionality by creating scripts of various flavours. I have also have entirely failed to push these mods back to the community, and one reason for this is that I have no idea how others use ganglia and what is important to them. For example, our clusters are often small, membership is fairly volatile, and we have hundreds of clusters. So we have code that deals with this in terms of navigation and filtering. Would other users want this? I have no idea. Perhaps we could create a simple anonymous survey for Ganglia users? Code authors could then be guided quantitively by what the community is really doing - what kind of hosts they monitor - what they use in Ganglia, and what they may need. What do you (all) think? - richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For more information about Barclays Capital, please visit our web site at http://www.barcap.com.
