Setting up more than one Ganglia Cluster

by Brian Bockelman last modified 2006-05-23 10:44

There's no need to limit yourself to one Ganglia cluster for your MonaLisa service. Multiple Ganglia clusters are easy to handle with the MonaLisa config file.

Adding multiple ganglia clusters is as simple as a new line in your config file.  For OSG installs, the config file you must edit is:
${MonaLisa_HOME}/Service/VDTFarm/vdtFarm.conf
Add your Ganglia server names, one per line, as follows:
*<Cluster Name>{monIGangliaTCP, <hostname>, <port>, }%30
Here's our configuration, which has three different clusters:
*PN_CMS_nodes{IGangliaTCP, localhost, 8649, }%30
*Storage Cluster{IGangliaTCP, thpc-1, 8649, }%30
*ITB Cluster{IGangliaTCP, alliance, 8649, }%30

Notice that we do not use the standard monIGangliaTCP for our module; we use a hacked Ganglia module which reports disk free information.
