For reference, here is a current HOST line of XML <HOST NAME="mybox.local" IP="10.1.1.1" REPORTED="1201820930" TN="7" TMAX="20" DMAX="0" LOCATION="unspecified" GMOND_STARTED="1200935314">
We're looking at making some patches to ganglia to do one of the following things: 1) replace the _value_ with the value of the job_id, and modifying the code so that you can update the location. This would also include the option to keep the location as it is written currently, or spoof it with a job_id (or arbitrary value) 2) add a new field to the HOST entry called job_id and allow it to be updated without restarting ganglia. Sadly, we can't use a job_id a metric (well, we could but it's more of a pain in other part of our code). For the purposes of our machine, a machine is dedicated to a single job. The ultimate idea is to be able to drop whatever we like into that host field and have it change without an entire restart of ganglia. Do any of the main ganglia dev folks have an opinion here? We'd be looking to submit this back into the main stream once we are done. As always, I'm open to be told I'm wrong or it has been done :) Doug Nordwall Unix Administrator EMSL Computer and Network Support Phone: (509)372-6776; Fax: (509)376-0420 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
