Hi all (potential) new ganglia user here, with a couple quick questions 
that I couldn't find the answers to via google.

1) Where can I find how ganglia gathers information from a system?  I'm 
specifically looking to compare how, for example, Solaris gathers its 
information (probably through kstat) and Linux gathers its (probably via 
/proc) but I'm looking, specifically, for the code that shows this.  Is 
it available?

2) Does anyone have any experience with using ganglia, just as a backend 
for storage of RRD data, but then using their own custom front-end?  We 
are currently using our own home-grown RRD back-end/front-end solution 
and, although ganglia looks like a more robust method of data 
collection/storage...we're thinking we might just want to port that for 
a back-end solution and continue using our own front-end.

Thanks for your time!

-Bill
