Hi Semy: The more elegant solution is to use gmetad-python and write plugins to manipulate the metric data collected however way you want. For more information, please see the README: https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/blob/master/gmetad-python/README And Peter is right, ganglia-general

I've already seen sFlow and ganglia about month ago, and I had some problems during configuration, but maybe I should try it again. So maybe I have different question now. Is there any way to query gmetad about historical data? I'd like to retrieve some data in my external piece of software

I can't help you with your questions about gmetad, but I would be very interested in hearing where you ran into trouble during the sFlow/Ganglia configuration. I am currently working on documentation and would like to make sure that I fill any gaps. On Jun 20, 2012, at 11:09 AM, Simon G.

In next 2-5 days I'll try ganglia + sFlow again, so I'll definitely let you know about my problems. If you can't answer my previous question to whom should I send it? Cheers, On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 8:24 PM, Peter Phaal peter.ph...@inmon.com wrote: I can't help you with your questions about

There are people on this list who should be able to answer questions relating to gmetad (although you might have better luck on the ganglia-general list). My expertise is limited to sFlow. On Jun 20, 2012, at 11:39 AM, Simon G. wrote: In next 2-5 days I'll try ganglia + sFlow again, so I'll

I think I've found answer for my question. I've just read few files from source code of ganglia-web and as i can see they are reading RRD to draw everything so i think I have to write my own wrapper around RRD to do what i need. Anyway thx for informations. Cheers, On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 8:57

gweb allows downloading RRD data as either csv or json. Might that help? On Jun 20, 2012, at 2:40 PM, Simon G. wrote: I think I've found answer for my question. I've just read few files from source code of ganglia-web and as i can see they are reading RRD to draw everything so i think I

TCP is not supported. Ganglia's binary protocol and sFlow both use UDP. Loosing a packet is no big deal - a new measurement will be sent next polling interval and the benefits of a stateless protocol are considerable. Peter On Jun 20, 2012, at 3:30 PM, Simon G. semy...@gmail.com wrote: On

Simon, Ganglia 3.2+ can collect and display sFlow metrics: http://blog.sflow.com/2012/01/using-ganglia-to-monitor-virtual.html You can monitor the virtual machines by installing Host sFlow agents (http://host-sflow.sourceforge.net/ ) on the hypervisors. The sFlow agents export libvirt metrics
