Dear Jesse and Richard, Thanks for getting back with information on the "location" section.
I will try to spare some free time this month, and see if I can have a look and provide a patch (location accepting any String).

Because Ganglia was designed for cluster monitoring, the vast majority of which *do* have a concept of at least rack and rank (if not plane), and this was (presumably) useful at the time. This certainly doesn't preclude Ganglia from working in other, non-racked environments (I use it for watching workstations, for example). This may not be optimal--a free-form string would probably be more useful. Patches to change this are welcome. You could pretty easily encode your "location" to fit the R/R/P ganglia idea, if you really wanted to. 0/0/0 could be SanFran, 0/0/1 could be NYC, 0/0/2 is Boston, etc. -- Jesse Becker GPG Fingerprint -- BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
