[RedHat EL 4] I'm upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.0.7, and don't want to lose historical data, so my first step is setting up gmetad 3.0.7 on a new box to run in parallel with the existing 3.0.1. However, I'm having a problem.
I start like this: - install ganglia-gmetad-3.0.7 on the new box - it already has gmond 3.0.1 running - I edit /etc/gmetad.conf to add our custom RRA definitions - I edit /etc/gmetad.conf to change the cluster name in the data_source line, to match our existing cluster name (which is already set in /etc/gmond.conf as well) - I rsync the ganglia/rrds directory from the old gmetad server and chown -R nobody the whole tree - service gmetad start Ganglia web shows graphs of historical data until the present time, for our cluster, but no further: past the point where I moved the RRD files over, graphs all show blank. gmetad is writing new data to RRD files in ganglia/rrds/unspecified rather than to the existing RRD files in ganglia/rrds/OurCluster Why is gmetad doing that? How can I get it to update the old RRDs that I rsync'ed over from the 3.0.1 server, and to use our cluster name as set in the data_source line? -- Cos ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
