-===== Ganglia =====
-[[http://ganglia.info/|Ganglia]] is a system for measuring, recording, and graphing certain metrics about hosts in a cluster.  Metrics include things like CPU load, network traffic, disk space, RAM utilization, etc.  These metrics are saved and graphed periodically by [[http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool|RRDtool]]. Rocks automatically configures the head node to query the compute nodes and has a web-based interface where you can monitor the health of the cluster.
-You can see the ganglia installation here:  http://hpc.ilri.cgiar.org/ganglia (if it's working)
-For some reason sometimes the graphs do not draw.  If you reboot the cluster the graphs work for some days and then seem to stop drawing (the graphs appear blank).  However, if you call the script responsible for drawing the graphs with no arguments, you'll see graphs are actually working: http://hpc.ilri.cgiar.org/ganglia/graph.php

-Interesting documentation: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/WikiPtype/ganglia
-==== Troubleshooting ====
-When Ganglia has problems displaying nodes it may need to be restarted.  Restart the daemons in this order:
-  * Stop data collection daemon on HPC: ''service gmetad stop''
-  * Stop monitoring daemon on HPC: ''service gmond stop''
-  * Stop monitoring daemon on compute nodes: ''rocks run host compute %%'%%service gmond stop%%'%%''
-  * Start data collection daemon on HPC: ''service gmetad start''
-  * Star monitoring daemon on HPC: ''service gmond start''
-  * Start monitoring daemon on compute nodes: ''rocks run host compute %%'%%service gmond start%%'%%''
-Now go check the Ganglia web interface and see if the nodes have returned.

+==== Zabbix ====
+----
+Installation: Ref : http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/1.8/start
+RHEL-compatible Linux: Ref: http://andrewfarley.com/sysadmin/rpm-repository-online
+<code>sudo echo '[andrewfarley]
+name=Andrew Farley RPM Repository
+baseurl=http://repo.andrewfarley.com/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
+enabled=1
+gpgcheck=0' > /etc/yum.repos.d/andrewfarley.com.repo</code>
+And then you can install zabbix agent, zabbix server, zabbix get, or zabbix proxy with…
+<file>
+    sudo yum install zabbix-agent
+    sudo yum install zabbix-server
+    sudo yum install zabbix-get
+    sudo yum install zabbix-proxy </file>
+If it fails to install, you might need to clean the metadata with the following command and try again…
+    sudo yum clean metadata
+Debian-Based Linux:
+----
+<code>
+root@simple:~# apt-cache search zabbix
+zabbix-agent - network monitoring solution - agent
+zabbix-frontend-php - network monitoring solution - PHP front-end
+zabbix-proxy-mysql - network monitoring solution - proxy (using MySQL)
+zabbix-proxy-pgsql - network monitoring solution - proxy (using PostgreSQL)
+zabbix-server-mysql - network monitoring solution - server (using MySQL)
+zabbix-server-pgsql - network monitoring solution - server (using PostgreSQL)
+root@simple:~# aptitude install zabbix-proxy-mysql zabbix-agent zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php
