E.g., does:
gmond -f -c /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf
do the right thing? (it'll certainly complain if you do that as a user other
than ganglia).
Other than that, you might want to include your version #s and what
distribution of Ganglia you're using, so we can help more.

Hi All,
Bit of a newbie to ganglia.
I have a very simple configuration and have in included the gmetad.conf and
gmond.conf below. When I try to start gmond I get the following error:
[r...@nynode-1 ~]# service gmond start
Starting GANGLIA gmond: /etc/ganglia/gmetad.conf:11: no such option
'debug_level'
Parse error for '/etc/ganglia/gmond.conf'
[FAILED]
With debug level commented out:
[r...@nynode-1 ~]# service gmond start
Starting GANGLIA gmond: /etc/ganglia/gmetad.conf:39: no such option
'data_source'
Parse error for '/etc/ganglia/gmond.conf'
[FAILED]
This strikes me a bit strange since the data_source option is required.
I have as simple as a data_source statement that you can have:
data_source "WAI New York Cluster" localhost
Is there any particular reason I am getting a getmetad error when starting
gmond?
It was my understanding that gmetad depended on gmond, not the other way around.
Here are my config files, which are main default:
gmond.conf:
/* This configuration is as close to 2.5.x default behavior as possible
The values closely match ./gmond/metric.h definitions in 2.5.x */
globals {
daemonize = yes
setuid = yes
user = ganglia
debug_level = 0
max_udp_msg_len = 1472
mute = no
deaf = no
allow_extra_data = yes
host_dmax = 0 /*secs */
cleanup_threshold = 300 /*secs */
gexec = no
send_metadata_interval = 0
}
/*
* The cluster attributes specified will be used as part of the <CLUSTER>
* tag that will wrap all hosts collected by this instance.
*/
cluster {
name = "WAI New York Cluster"
owner = "Weidlinger Associates Inc., New York, NY"
latlong = "N40.72 E74.00"
url = "http://ny-ganglia.wai.com";
}
/* The host section describes attributes of the host, like the location */
host {
location = "ny"
}
/* Feel free to specify as many udp_send_channels as you like. Gmond
used to only support having a single channel */
udp_send_channel {
host = 172.22.1.100
port = 8649
ttl = 1
}
/* You can specify as many udp_recv_channels as you like as well. */
udp_recv_channel {
# host = 172.122.1.100
port = 8649
bind = 172.22.1.100
}
/* You can specify as many tcp_accept_channels as you like to share
an xml description of the state of the cluster */
tcp_accept_channel {
port = 8649
}
Here is my gmetad.conf file not including the modules section:
