i think i saw the Ganglia-Gmetric and it appeared fork-based, so i had scale concerns.
embeddedgmetric looks good... maybe spent 3 years in alpha though? but if it works, who cares. one nice thing about the csv approach is it should scale for any language that can do standard io... even a shell or sed script. i wonder if/how-much a packet is cheaper than a fork? but yeah ideally you'd consolidate packets. as far as i can i haven't bumped into packet-rate issues as much as packet-byte-rate issues, which would remain even in a consolidated packet scenario. -scott On Wed, 17 Feb 2010, Jesse Becker wrote: > On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 03:06:47PM -0500, Scott Dworkis wrote: >> gmetric for every metric you want to send.
