There have been some tweets that someone was working on a REST interface for Ganglia. At first I thought it wasn't such a big deal but I think that adding a simplistic interface to Ganglia would be a nice addition ie. something like
> telnet ganglia 8653 METRIC web1 load_one Which would echo out the current value for load_one. That way you can avoid parsing out the XML to get those values. I think for large sites it makes a lot of sense. Granted there are "workarounds" that could be implemented and people have. I believe all that needs to be done is add a function similar to process_tcp_accept_channel which doesn't dump out the whole XML but selective value. I would put it on a separate port call it tcp_get_metric. If you were so inclined you could even make it a HTTP interface. Thoughts ?
