Re: [Ganglia-general] Ganglia Web interface - Where to specify an arbitrary host name and IP to be shown in the UI.

Greetings, I think you need the override_hostname statement in your gmond configuration. It is available starting with Ganglia 3.2.0 and is described here - http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia/wiki/override_hostname Of course, you will need to restart the gmond daemon after changing

Yes you are right there is a little dance among host-names to be despaired from UI and many times master node in unicast mode takes time to fetch all the required data like - cpu_num, etc. By the way I was missing something to use with override_hostname is, override_ip. Without this gmond

I would appreciate if you could share the hardware specification needs to be there for Ganglia. 1. Server running gmond (around 50) 2. Since I am using unicast mode what should be the hardware configuration for the master server(chosen from one of 50 gmond instances) which is gathering data

[Ganglia-general] List memory used per process

Hi Is there an easy way of getting Ganglia to monitor memory use per process. For example to get the 10 most memory hungry procesess? Regards Peter Ellevseth -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action! The most

Re: [Ganglia-general] Ganglia gmond memory leak?

I've also observed this and have been unable to find a solution. In my case at least there was no obvious correlation with the number of metrics or weather the gmond was an aggregating or not (so several orders of magnitude in the number of metrics did not matter, it might happen on 2 out of 80

[Ganglia-general] tcpconn.py and netstat

2012-02-27 Thread Chris Burroughs
Currently tcpconn.py uses netstat to get it's socket stats. This gives lots of detail but is far too slow for much production use (running netstat can take many minutes). /proc/net/sockstat gives less information but has no performance problems. There was a suggestion previously to use the ss

Hi Aidan,  for what it is worth, I cannot reproduce the growing memory consumption on a small 3.2.0 grid using only standard metrics in unicast mode. Running now for a few hours. Will check again tomorrow. Cheers Martin -- Martin Knoblauch

[Ganglia-general] Best topology for unicast deployment

2012-02-27 Thread Gilles Devaux
Hi, I'd like to know what's the best topology for a unicast deployment. I want to monitor several clusters (memcache / redis / mysql / etc...). --- One solution is to configure each node in a given cluster to talk to a given head gmond (or two for HA) M1, M2, M3 - send to MHEAD:MPORT R1, R2, R3
