Windows has different ABIs between the client and server versions and sadly also in some cases between the different flavors of those versions, making to compile your own version a better option than trying to get a binary for each of those versions. it is also important to note that ganglia uses cygwin for windows support and cygwin can only have 1 version of the DLL loaded on each system, and so a binary package of ganglia that includes its own cygwin might not be suited for your environment if you also have another cygwin dll installed and in use for other applications, leading to another complication in getting a satisfactory installer of ganglia for windows. > > Also, this thread in ganglia-developers may be of interest to you: > > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02747.html some caveats : 1) that thread is way old, and most of the complains about unsupported metrics has been fixed since in the last releases, as part of the current trunk (of what will be 3.1.0) or had patches provided and that are waiting for testers (which will need to have a really broad combination of setups because of all the multiple different OS implementations that call themselves "windows"). 2) the binary only version of ganglia from APR consulting is not compatible at the wire layer with the opensource versions of ganglia, and so can't be deployed in an heterogeneous environment (one that has anything other than windows, as it should be) 3) the binary only version (which had never sent back any code contributions) from APR consulting is supported by them on a contractual basis but since our code is open and supported by us in an opensource manner I would suggest instead trying ours first and that way be sure that any improvements to our code base will be available to anyone (including of course APR and APR customers) if you want a binary package for 3.0.5 refer to : http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03062.html which you can drop in your c:\progra~1 directory and expand, for some more verbose instructions refer to : http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03021.html > > telnet 'server':8669 and it displays the information (xlm > > file), but it seems the server may not multicast the > > information out for the moniitoring server to pick up. you have to use unicast, which means you will setup all the gmond.conf to point to some other gmond.conf which will be used as collector, and that gmetad will pull the cluster information from (you can probably install that in your *nix gmetad server).
