Re: [Ganglia-general] localhost verses actual hostname

2014-07-22 Thread Michael Shearer
Hi Jonathan, IIRC, when ganglia first receives metrics from a new host, it does a reverse lookup on that IP. If your DNS is correctly configured, then that should resolve to the real hostname. I have encountered this type of issue before, and ended up fixing DNS, stopping ganglia, deleting the dir

Hi, At this point, I need someone who is more familiar with the gmetad code to step in. I can see that 'RRD_create' in rrd_helpers.c is passed an int as an argument, the value of which is the step for the RRD to be created, which, after a little tracing, is hard coded as 15, in gmetad.c, line 318:

Hi Khaled, Updating your polling time is only half the solution. The other part is the resolution of data stored in the RRD files (assuming RRD backend) Depending on your ganglia version, you will have different settings for RRD, but that is where I would look. You will need to configure your rrd

Hi Michael, I have not looked at this for a long time, but I remember encountering a similar issue when I worked on this. If you run it again a few seconds later, it is probably going to return valid metrics. However, that is not a very useful thing. Also, I can trigger this fairly easily, using:

Hi, You should be able to setup 2 gmond, one for each set of servers, and then specify 2 data sources in your gmetad config. Just change the listen port if you run both gmond on the same server/ IP. Cheers, Michael. On 16 October 2013 00:55, Rita wrote: > Using 3.5.7 and I have 2 sets of mach

Hi, You can use check_multiple_metrics_warn, which already has the necessary logic changes. If people want, this could be merged into the normal check_multiple_metrics, but I didn't want to make any changes that might cause regressions in those scripts, because I made the warning threshold mandato

Hi, This was resolved by applying the sysctl settings as per Evans readme file. In short, these settings seem to be non-optional, if you want to use the fibrechannel module, you will need to tweak the network memory settings. Cheers, Michael. On 16 August 2012 13:11, Michael Shearer wrote
