Hi all, I've an important question for you. I want to explore the "real" capabilities of Ganglia at the present time. During my work with Ganglia I realized that a "very useful feature" would be to manage RRD files information in a flexible way, simply starting from a configuration file. Suppose we have a single .conf file where we can set some parameter: for example cluster names array, node range (eg. node[100-200]) of a certain cluster and metric (es load). This would result in a management tool which allows me to create an visualize on a SINGLE WEB PAGE (like the ganglia one or different) the information and partial sums for any cluster or group of cluster, and for each cluster only for the node set I prefer.
1) For example suppose we have CLUSTER1/2/3 etc. I want a web page where I can see only the graph of cluster 1 and 2 (not 3) and for cluster 1 only the fist 100 nodes. Then I want to see on the same page also the partial sum for each cluster or clusters group. All should be done re-using the same data collected from gmonds/gmetad once. At the moment the only way is to create a sub grid and maybe defining custom views!? for node subsets I need probably another gmond to activate. It should be better to have a tool easily configurable with a single file in order to create directories, also hierarchically, to store rrds and partial results, without re-collecting values. 2) Another use case could it be to store info about application load, storing for each application or user the proper rrds into separated folders. Then create also the total sum graph. How can we manage the information about entities like users or applications without a general file management tool? I don't know exactly if Ganglia can do that, if not it must be created a different layer, as simple as possible, to manage RRDs with RRDTool into folders and producing correct graphs. This can be also a new development step, should it be possible? It has been never proposed previously? thanks in advance, Best Regards, Michele -- Michele Carpené SuperComputing Applications and Innovation Department CINECA - via Magnanelli, 6/3, 40033 Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna) - ITALY Tel: +39 051 6171xxx Fax: +39 051 6132198 http://hpc.cineca.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
