Linux

I have 3 server 'farms': prod, staging, and qa. I have Ganglia setup and gathering stats fine, but I want to separate the 3 server farms using the same Ganglia server. How can I do this?

Any input would be appreciated!

Hey there.
you should create 3 different clinet files and edit the server conf file.

in client file: /etc/gmond.conf

change the name of the cluster ( prod, staging, qa ) and the port (8691,8692,8693)
copy client conf file to each correspoing client,and run:
/sbin/service gmond restart

change:
cluster {
name = "prod"
owner = "yourname"
latlong = "unspecified"
url = "unspecified"
}

udp_send_channel {
mcast_join = 239.2.11.71
port = 8691
ttl = 1
}
udp_recv_channel {
mcast_join = 239.2.11.71
port = 8691
bind = 239.2.11.71
}
tcp_accept_channel {
port = 8691
}

in client file: /etc/ganglia/gmetad.conf

add the data_source for of the each cluster ( prod, staging, qa ) and the port (8691,8692,8693) with at least one clinet from that farm.

data_source "prod" 10 prod-client-hostname:8691
data_source "staging" 10 staging-client-hostname:8692
data_source "qa" 10 qa-client-hostname:8693

once you changed the server file run:
/sbin/service gmetad restart

now, refresh the web client....

enjoy
