The graph is showing you a value of roughly 10.5 million Kilobytes, which matches what you sent via gmetric. The label 'Kilobytes' is just text, and not interpreted by ganglia in any way, so no unit conversion will be performed.
If you want the graph to be in gigabytes, do the division in your script prior to calling gmetric. $ gmetric --conf=gmond.conf --name test_metric2 --value 10.57 --type float --units Gigabytes alex On Dec 12, 2011, at 2:01 PM, Aidan Wong wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to pass a metric with Gmetric in Kilobytes but the unit > representation in the graph is not correct. > Example: > $ gmetric --conf=gmond.conf --name test_metric2 --value 10570393 --type int32 > --units Kilobytes > > For the command above, the graph represents 10570393 Kb as 10.57 Mb instead > of 10.57 Gb.
