available in Ubuntu's repositories are just too old. when I'll have some
free time I correct wiki.

 /usr/local is the default prefix when you build from source.

  Everywhere in documentation I see /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf.
  /etc/ganglia/gmetad-python.conf and when gmetad-python looks for
  confgiuration in proper directory (/etc/ganglia/gmetad-python.conf),
 gmond
  looks in wrong one.

 The documentation in the wiki assumes you're using binary packages
 (RPM or deb) which most people do.  Perhaps we could improve the
 documentation by making this clearer.

 I haven't been following the Debian/Ubuntu package situation, but
 don't they have readily available package for gmetad-python?

 Cheers,

[Ganglia-developers] Gmond and default configuration directory bug?

2012-07-15 Thread Simon G.
I have fresh system (Ubuntu 12.04 x64) and I've just installed gmond.

I was using this
guidehttp://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia/wiki/Ganglia%203.1.x%20Installation%20and%20Configuration#getting_support.
Just simple configure-make-make install, without gmetad, because I'd like
to use gmetad-python.

Why default gmond's installation configures it to look for configuration
files in /usr/local/etc/gmond.conf?

Everywhere in documentation I see /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf.
/etc/ganglia/gmetad-python.conf and when gmetad-python looks for
confgiuration in proper directory (/etc/ganglia/gmetad-python.conf),
gmond looks in wrong one.

Cheers,
