Recently we noticed something we don't know the explanation for, on a CentOS4 for system running gmond 3.1.0: The Ganglia graph shows a line for "running processes" that sometimes spikes to 10, 20, or higher, and often stays at that high level for several samples in a row; but top reports that processes "running" is 1-4 and occasionally 5 or 6, but never shows a number as high as 10 even if we watch it for a while, while the graph updates and clearly shows spikes.
We found one cause of those spikes and fixed it, reducing their size and number, so we don't think Ganglia is fabricating it. It's showing something that's really happening. But why the disagreement with top? -- Cos ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ganglia-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-general
