Carlo, I have been pouring over the wiki, and have downgraded my version of ganglia, from 3.1.x to 3.0.7
So to set multi cast for both sides, I just need need to put in the 239.2.11.71 as the terminating address? I also made sure that my switch had broadcast and multicast turned on, with a limit of 3000/sec. Also the mute flag worked perfectly. And I just re-ran it and it worked perfectly for one item on one node. So now I am going to try it against several nodes and multiple dimensions. -John On Dec 9, 2009, at 4:12 PM, Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon wrote: > On Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 03:40:01PM -0500, John Martyniak wrote: >> >> So I have tried some of the suggestions below. > > most information from : > > http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/GangliaMetrics > > beware that you need to be running ganglia 3.0 for it to work, > most likely. > >> Here is a sample config from hadoop-metrics.properties: >> # Configuration of the "jvm" context for ganglia >> jvm.class=org.apache.hadoop.metrics.ganglia.GangliaContext >> jvm.period=10 >> jvm.servers=10.1.1.25:8649 >> >> In my gmond.conf on the 10.1.1.25 machine, there are several lines >> that are similar to this one, >> udp_send_channel { >> mcast_join = 239.2.11.71 >> port = 8649 >> ttl = 1 >> } >> >> 1) it has a mcast value, should this be removed since I am not using >> the mcast value in the hadoop properties? > > yes, and you also need to be having a unicast listener then to match > but will be probably better if you stick with the recommended setup > of using multicast in both sides (if possible). > >> 2) how do you disable the local ganglia monitors from running? >> Because when I run "gmetad --debug=9" I get a ton of data, but I >> think >> that it is all from local, because it is the only environment that >> shows in the web ui. > > set mute = yes in the globals section for your gmond.conf > > Carlo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Ganglia-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-general
