Hi Fabio, Since Ambari manages these files, you need to make modifications to corresponding files under /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/GANGLIA on the Ambari Server instead of /etc/ganglia, /usr/lib/exec/hdp/ganglia, etc. Once you modify appropriate files, you need to do "ambari-server restart" to let the Ambari Server reload these changes. Then you go to Ambari Web UI and restart Ganglia to push the files out to the nodes. The same procedure can be applied for other services that you might want to customize.
I hope this helps.

I made some changes on the ambari-server node in the file /etc/ganglia/hdp/gmetad.conf but, when I restart the Ganglia service in Ambari, it is reverted to the original one. Then I modified the file /usr/libexec/hdp/ganglia/gmetadLib.sh, which looks like the generator of the gmetad.conf, but even this file is then reverted to the original one. How can I make a permanent change to the gmetad.conf? Will this changes be broadcasted to all the other nodes? Thanks a lot Fabio
