-===== 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 compute nodes: ''rocks run host compute %%'%%service gmond stop%%'%%'' +
-  - Start data collection daemon on HPC: ''service gmetad start'' +
-  - Wait a minute or two +
-  - 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.+
