Peter:

1 - very cool, congrats.  we don't use GroundWork, but I'm sure it'll be 
helpful to a lot of folks
2 - outside of the main function of that integration, can you consider changing 
what is listed on your page under "How is Ganglia different than Nagios ?" just 
because it's pretty misleading.

what seems to be missing from that paragraph is the obvious: nagios' main 
purpose is to provide a framework to monitor and alert based on specific 
criteria the health of machines and services running on those machines. while 
I've seen rrd and other graphing stuff added to nagios, trending and graphing 
isn't nagios' strongpoint, nor does it pretend to be.

in turn, ganglia doesn't do have any alerting/escalation built into it, and 
IMHO it shouldn't, because nagios is better at that.

Subject: [Ganglia-general] Ganglia-to-GroundWork Integration Module Now 
Available


Now available: a Ganglia integration module that enables GroundWork Monitor's 
visualization, notification, and configuration tools to be used with data 
generated by Ganglia.  It contains a unique threshold management utility that 
essentially creates a Ganglia event stream, feeding Ganglia events into the 
operator views, dashboards, reports, notifications, and configuration tools of 
GroundWork Monitor.  So now you can combine the output of Nagios, RRDtool, 
Cacti and other popular open source tools with Ganglia using GroundWork 
Monitor. 

The Ganglia-to-GroundWork Integration Module is available for download from 
SourceForge through 
http://www.groundworkopensource.com/products/components/ganglia.html  


Let me know if you try this module and what you think of it.  It's only beta 
now; suggestions for improvements (and, ideally, the improvements themselves -- 
smile) are welcome!


-Peter
