Hi Ken: I just looked at the code, Ganglia determines boottime based on btime of /proc/stat. If it fails to get the value of btime, it sets boottime to 0 (which is what you are observing).
uptime is derived from boottime. So, the question is, what is btime on your cluster2/cluster3 nodes' /proc/stat?
