Support for standard sFlow Java virtual machine, web server and memcache server metrics has been added to the Ganglia trunk.
The following articles describe how to use Ganglia to collect the new metrics: Java Standard set of Java virtual machine performance counters (CPU, memory, garbage collection, class loading, compilation, threads and file descriptors). Currently there is an open source sFlow agent for Tomcat as well as an implementation that uses the -javaagent command line argument to instrument existing Java applications. http://blog.sflow.com/2011/12/using-ganglia-to-monitor-java-virtual.html HTTP Counts of response codes and request types. There are currently open source implementations for Apache, NGINX, Tomcat and node.js http://blog.sflow.com/2011/12/using-ganglia-to-monitor-web-farms.html Memcache Standard set of counters memcache counters (including cache hits/misses, operations, bytes, connections etc). There is an open source implementation for Memcached. http://blog.sflow.com/2011/12/using-ganglia-to-monitor-memcache.html The update also improves support for virtual machine statistics (with sFlow agents currently available for Xen, XenServer and KVM): http://blog.sflow.com/2012/01/using-ganglia-to-monitor-virtual.html Cheers, Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
