Off the top of my head, one way around this would be to give the Apache server on A1 access to all of the clusters' RRD files, either by NFS export, or by regularly scheduled rsync, or some other method, You'd then need to either configure A1'a Apache to handle web requests for G1 and G2's hostnames (possible if G1 and G2 are behind a firewall and you can set their IPs to point to A1 outside the firewall, or you could run proxy http servers on G1 and G2 which might defeat your purpose), or you could hack the Ganglia-Web PHP code to always put A1's name in the URLs. Another way around this would be to run multiple gmetad's on A1, with different configs: One to aggregate your first grid, one to aggregate your second grid, and one to aggregate the two grids. I haven't tried this myself so I'm not sure whether you'd need to do anything unusual to make it work with Ganglia-Web. You'd probably need to maintain a separate RRD directory tree for each gmetad, so you might need multiple Ganglia-Web instances, one for each RRD tree. You could still run gmetad instances on G1 and G2, there's nothing preventing separate gmetad nodes from aggregating exactly the same sets of gmond nodes (in fact, I always do this on purpose, for robustness: I can take one gmetad node down or have it crash, bring it back up, and restore the data from the other one, and never have gaps). -- Cos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
