Brad, If gmetric is replaced (or obsoleted by) a plugin architecture to gmond, how will it take care of metrics like this one: http://ben.hartshorne.net/ganglia/ganglia_apache.pl The part that I'm not sure about is that at the moment, the above script is called *by* apache (through a LogFormat pipe) rather than being called by a cronjob (or by gmond). If gmetric is replaced by plugins to gmond, how can anything other than gmond initiate inserting a metric into the stream? Caveat - I havn't really looked at the architecture yet, so please forgive me if the answer is obvious. Thanks, -ben -- Ben Hartshorne email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.hartshorne.net
