you can't mix 3.1.0 and 3.0.0 gmond in the same channel they are not compatible, and so you'd have to either downgrade your linux server to 3.0.7 or even better use 3.1.0 in your windows clients. if you need a binary for Windows the following might work for you : http://www.sajinet.com.pe/ganglia/ganglia-3.1.0-bin.zip if you have cygwin already installed (you can only have 1 cygwin per system) you might want to use the dll provided by your cygwin installations instead of the versions in that zip and that were just packed there for convenience. if you have no cygwin and were using the 3.0.0 windows installer, you could just replace all binaries from that installation with the ones from this zip, most likely. > I am unable to get my Windows (2003 and/or XP) hosts to display on the > Ganglia web front end.
