There are a few places you can verify that everything is matching up. Everything I'm writing here is for unicast. I'm not sure how much of the gmond info applies to multicast, but the gmetad & web parts should be the same for uni/multicast.
Unicast clusters have normal nodes & head nodes. A head node is one which knows the state of all other nodes in the cluster, and can be polled by gmetad. Just for redundancy and clarity and redundancy: A head node is also a 'normal' node, in that it knows it's own state as well as others'. 1. normal gmond udp_send_channel (host&port) must match a head-node udp_recv_channel. 2. gmetad's data_source must match a head-node gmond tcp_accept_channel. 3. web's conf.php $ganglia_ip/$ganglia_port must match gmetad's xml_port. Your XML looks like 1 & 2 are true, but I'd still double-check. What about #3? I've never seen the symptoms you're describing, so I'm guessing to some degree. You might try shutting down all the daemons, and bringing up just 1 gmond & gmetad. See how that looks, then bring up more gmonds one at a time, and see where things start to fail. Check gmond & gmetad XML output at every stage, as well as the web. alex On Dec 21, 2010, at 3:52 PM, Tarabas wrote: > Hi Bernard, > > I am setting it up with unicast.
