The gmetad web frontend allows you to browse the data collected by the gmetad backend to immediately see the state of multiple clusters. There is a live demo of the web frontend which shows just want this component can do.

The gmetad web frontend requires that you upgrade to gmetad version 0.1.1.

The Ganglia Meta Daemon (gmetad) allows you to merge data from seperate gmond processes together into a single meta-cluster image. All data is stored in RRD and XML format for client applications to browse. The PHP frontend is being developed now and will be released in the coming week(s).

A bug fix for the monitoring core has also been released. Version 2.4.0 of the monitoring core occasionally would consider a node dead even though it wasn’t but this was fixed in 2.4.1.
