Hi Bryan: Are you using unicast for your Ganglia setup? Perhaps this has something to do with send_metadata_interval?
Another thing you can try out is the sFlow integration in trunk. hsflowd (which is the host daemon you install on your host) supports libvirt. There is a nice writeup here: http://blog.sflow.com/2010/10/ganglia.html Cheers, Bernard On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 7:26 AM, bwbwcool <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I have been using the Gmond Python metric modules > (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia/wiki/ganglia_gmond_python_modules) > to monitor network activity from virtual machines using the spoof host > functionality.
