I have a process that periodically polls gmetad (builds models of some metrics, alerts if things don't look like). To reduce the number of variables I set up a dedicated gmetad on the same host as the poller and set "write_rrds off". Unless I'm missing something the only thing it should be doing is polling gmond, and responding to my polls.
Polling localhost currently has a mean around 2000 ms, with a stddev around 30. I've seen higher outliers, but right now I'm just trying to figure out of that's normal. 2000 ms to send a request over the loopback interface *seems* like a lot. But I don't really have anything to compare it to. Is that normal? Info: - ganglia 3.4.0 - centos5 [1] - xml size: 25 MiB - hosts: > 300 - metrics: > 9k - unique host-metric pairs: > 80k [1] Same setup in another DC with centos6, so I don't think it's that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
