I have been running ganglia 3.0 on AIX for a couple of years; I have 2 grids: a grid of ~ 400 production LPARs in ~50 clusters and a grid of ~400 dev/test/qa LPARs in ~ 50 clusters. I am starting to play with Michael Perzl's 3.1.2 RPMs with the additional Power5/6 metrics. I have gmond 3.1.2 installed on 16 LPARs on 2 managed systems; each managed system is set up as a cluster. They are both P6 systems and all LPARs are running 6100-04-01-0944. My 3.1.2 gmetad instance (from perzl.org) is installed on a Power6 LPAR running 5300-08-04-0844.
When I start gmond on an LPAR, sometimes not all metrics get reported. For instance for LPAR A only the following metrics are getting recorded by gmetad in the RRD: boottime.rrd bytes_in.rrd cpu_aidle.rrd cpu_entitlement.rrd cpu_in_lpar.rrd cpu_in_machine.rrd cpu_in_pool.rrd cpu_nice.rrd cpu_num.rrd cpu_system.rrd cpu_used.rrd cpu_user.rrd disk_total.rrd load_five.rrd load_one.rrd lpar_num.rrd mem_buffers.rrd mem_shared.rrd pkts_in.rrd proc_run.rrd swap_free.rrd swap_total.rrd The following are not getting recorded: bytes_out.rrd cpu_idle.rrd cpu_in_syspool.rrd cpu_pool_idle.rrd cpu_speed.rrd cpu_wio.rrd disk_free.rrd disk_read.rrd disk_write.rrd load_fifteen.rrd mem_cached.rrd mem_free.rrd mem_total.rrd pkts_out.rrd proc_total.rrd weight.rdd For LPAR B all metrics are being recorded except: cpu_nice.rrd cpu_syste.rrd mem_total.rrd Here is the strange part. I can login to the LPAR, stop gmond, start gmond with any debug level greater than 1, and gmond will start reporting all metrics. I can then stop gmond and start it with out debug specified and it will continue to report all metrics. Anybody else encountered similar weirdness? Any ideas?
