-===== 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

-Interesting documentation: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/WikiPtype/ganglia
-==== Troubleshooting ====
-From time to time there are problems with Ganglia's web interface.  You can restart the needed services following this basic procedure:
-  - 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
