Matt, Thanks for your suggestion. I'll keep that in mind. I might want to do that for a different scenario...
I have several clusters, each having two gmond that collect the data for its own cluster. And one host running gmetad that polls the master gmond(s). If I do "telnet localhost 8649" on one of the master gmond host, I see that the hostnames have already been resolved. I take it that this host has done the name resolving (reverse lookup). I can't use "route add -net <ip> dev <interface>" trick since I'm using a virtual interface (eth0:0) and I want to distinguish from eth0's IP... -Paul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Cuttler Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 12:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Ganglia-general] Overriding hostname Paul Choi wrote: > Hi, > I was wondering if there's a way to override hostnames of the reported > client hosts? > For example, > I have a host named db02b.

If I remember correctly, modifying the /etc/hosts file on the machine running gmetad will work.. -Matt Cuttler ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
