All,
Or at least those that are interested ;) just an update on the presentation
that I gave at the Utah Open Source Conference.
This was the first of hopefully many Utah Open Source Conferences. The
conference itself went very well. Obviously since this was the first time that
this type of conference has been done in Utah and the fact that it was scoped
to Utah, it was a rather small conference. I think that the attendance topped
out at around 200+ people. If you would like to see more about the conference
itself, you can take a look at the http://www.utosc.org/ website.
Anyway, I decided to use this forum to tryout a presentation that I wrote
that describes the Ganglia Open Source project and the Ganglia software. Being
a small conference, I had about 20-25 people in the room but for the size of
the room that I was in, it was full. I started out by introducing the Ganglia
project and talking about all of the other open source software that it is
built on (RRDTool, APR, Apache HTTPD server, PHP, etc.). I then moved into a
discussion about the architecture of Ganglia by showing a slide of the
relationships between GMOND, GMETAD and the Web Front-end also discussing the
failover capabilities. Then the presentation moved into discussing GMOND,
GMETAD and the Web Front-end in more detail including the configuration
directives, what a standard configuration would look like and various possible
configurations. Finally, I got into the part of Ganglia that I know best and
that is the plugable module interface and the python module interface.
I talked about how to write both a C interface module as well as a python
interface module and just how easy it really is. The Ganglia presentation was
the third of three presentations that I gave at the conference. The other two
were "Understanding the Apache 2.2 Configuration" and "Open Source Best
Practices from an Apache Software Foundation Perspective". Overall, I think
that the presentation went very well. I will have a chance to do it again at
ApacheCon in November. Once I get the slides updated for ApacheCon, I will
pass them along to this list.
