This may be obvious to most readers but it can't hurt to say... If you want to test or try out tweaks to the web front end without much effort, you can simply make a test/dev directory tree in the Apache HTML tree on your running gmetad/web server. This can be handy if you want to see what the tweak is like when viewing your production clusters.
So if /var/www/html/ganglia is where your PHP lives, then make a directory /var/www/html/test and put the test PHP in there. Looking at the test data is http://gmetad-server/test instead of http://gmetad-server/ganglia. If your test or evaluation is more extensive and requires a separate instance of gmetad and its gmetad.conf, then you are better off putting gmetad/apache on a separate test server. The thing to note in this case is that you can still see what your production clusters look like with the test PHP by just adding The same data_source entries to the test server's gmetad.conf. All that will happen is that the headnode will be polled twice every poll period. - Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
