Hi, I'm running Ganglia on a wireless mesh network where each Gmond node has three network interfaces, two of which are wireless and one wired. At the moment each node is manually set to send to the head node over unicast on whichever interface has seemed most reliable for that particular node. Most of the nodes won't actually be connected via the wired ethernet, and the wireless connections aren't the most reliable. Is there any easy way to configure the nodes to fall back on other interfaces if one doesn't work?
Using multiple udp_send_channel entries (one for each interface) created what appeared to be three separate machines with identical metrics, because gmond on the head node doesn't know that 192.168.1.52 is the same machine as 192.168.3.52. Setting the /etc/hosts file to map 192.168.1.52, 2.52, and 3.52 to the same hostname appeared to work, and the nodes were only shown once in the charts. Really, gmond was still keeping track of three machines, so the listed numbers of hosts up and down showed 3x as many nodes as I actually have. Is there some way for gmond to identify the nodes so it realizes that what appear to be three nodes are actually just one? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
