It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. Ganglia is an open-source monitoring system specifically designed to meet the needs of distributed systems. Configure Ganglia Data Monitoring Agent (gmond) to send data to multiple Data Collection Agents (gmetad). Ganglia Server Installation Prerequisite: # yum -y install apr-devel apr-util check-devel cairo-devel pango-devel libxml2-devel rpmbuild glib2-devel. Monitoring Solr, ElasticSearch using JMX and Ganglia. My colleague Shohdan and I spent a couple of days last week wiring up various monitoring metrics into ganglia and while most of them come built in, we also found some python based modules that we wanted to use. JMX is pretty much a standard when it comes to getting stats about JVM or publishing metrics from a Java application. NOTE: Repost The ubuntu project “ensemble” is now publicly known as “juju”. Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. Recently I installed and configured Ganglia to monitor the hadoop cluster, here are the details to install and setup the Ganglia Monitoring server. A Ganglia Monitoring Daemon (gmond) runs on each node in the cluster and collects statistics from the node it runs on as well as other nodes in the cluster. Today's letter G is for Ganglia.
