With the tools as shipped, this is true. But ganglia's best feature (well, to me) is the availability of the xml data. It makes it extremely easy to write your own parser, and arrange the data however you see fit. I have two interfaces written that rely on ganglia's metrics and use custom groups of machines, in addition to the default web front end. Can hack something up a lot faster than one might initially think, and there's lots of examples you can lift out of the base web front end scripts. > Development.group1 (cluster of host1,2,3,4) > > Development.group2 (cluster of host5,6,7,8) > > Development grid (data_source Development.group1 and group2) This will > no longer list all 8 hosts, but instead will show the group1 and > group2 summaries. > > Production.group1 > > Production.group2 > > Production grid (data_source Production.group1 and group2) > > Grid of grids: All (data_source Development and Production) > > -twitham > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of > *Mike Stalnaker > *Sent:* Wednesday, August 20, 2008 3:31 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* [Ganglia-general] Adding a custom view - how? > > All; > > I have a Ganglia server running 3.0.3. > > In my gmetad.conf, I have data sources defined that look like: > > data_source "Development" xx.yy.zz.aa:8650 > data_source "Production" xx.yy.zz.bb:8650 > > This works great, but what I now need to do is provide some custom > views for my management, so that they can see the graphs only for > hosts assigned to a specific group ie: > > Development [host1 host2 host3 host4] on one page, and > Development [host5 host6 host7 host8] on another, without disturbing > the existing pages.
