The Grid2
Posted by Matt Massie in Announcements on November 18, 2003
Ganglia is briefly discussed in Chapter 20 Instrumentation and Monitoring of The Grid2 book by Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman. There is also a nice screenshot of the web frontend.
2.5.5 Released!
Posted by Matt Massie in Releases on November 7, 2003
Changes (see ChangeLog for details):
* FreeBSD users will be happy to know that all standard metrics are now reported on FreeBSD thanks to the work of Brooks Davis.
* This release also fixes a bug brought to our attention by Jim Prewett. This bug in gmond allows a specially crafted UDP packet to crash all gmond on a multicast channel with a segfault. This special UDP packet cannot be created using gmetric but requires a custom piece of code or a fuzzer.
* The ganglia documentation is now included in the distribution as ganglia.html and README. We are working to make sure the documentation is simpler to use, up-to-date and directly answers the questions that you have about ganglia.
Thank you for using Ganglia!
