So I might have just put the pieces together just about the same time I got this:
1) I did update the multicast address 2) Set the data_source in gmetad.conf to two nodes in each cluster/grid. That seemed to do it. I was stuck b/c I tried one or the other but not both :-) Cheers, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Ian Cunningham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 5:20 PM To: Ryan Dooley Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] proper ganglia setup for clusters Ryan Dooley wrote: > Greetings, > > I'm trying to setup different ganglia grids (based on a product or service). > > In my gmond.conf, which aside from the multicast ttl's being set, I've got > something that looks like this for cluster: > > cluster { > name = "product a" > owner = "an owner" > latlong = "unspecified" > url = "http://ganglia/" > } > > (the name changes for every group of machines I'm trying track) > > Connecting to a running ganglia instance does in fact show the output wrapped > in a <CLUSTER> correctly but the web interface never breaks out the specific > grids I've setup, they all get lumped together instead of by "grid". > > I've kept the defaults for the udp_{send,recv}_channels.

You also use individual data_source lines in your gmetad.conf 2. You separate grids by using different gmetad's. The second one might be wrong, but it is how I do things. The first one is what I think you are looking for (Grid vs Cluster == confusing at first).
