    Cluster?
    A cluster is a collection of
    computers which work together in
    accomplishing a task.

    Cluster computing has become a


    practical choice for high-
    performance computing (HPC)
    deployment.

    Ganglia?

    Ganglia - A real-time cluster monitoring tool


    that collects information from each
    computer in the cluster and provides an
    interactive way to view the performance of
    the computers and cluster as a whole.

    Ganglia like other monitoring tools only


    provide a way to view but not control the
    performance of each computer.

    Ganglia Architecture

    Ganglia –A monitoring tool

    Ganglia consists of two parts


    gmond (ganglia monitor daemon)
    gmetad

    Gmond: Runs on every node of the cluster


    and collects data about the node like
    CPU load, free memory, disk usage,
    network traffic, etc.

    Gmetad: Runs on a head node, gathers the data


    from all the nodes, and displays it.

    Ganglia is scalable as we can gather other


    metrics of interest, send them to the host and
    display them.

    It is currently in use on over 500 clusters


    around the world, can handle clusters with 2000
    nodes.

    Using gmetric tool

    Gmetric tool provides an easy way to


    add metrics.
    It is provided with Ganglia.
    The metrics added by this tool do not
    remain after a restart.
    Syntax:
    gmetric –-name=<metric name> --value=<valueofmetric>
    --value=<valueofmetric>
    --type=<typeofval>
    --type=<typeofval> …
    Example:
    gmetric –-name=cpu_temp
    name=cpu_temp –-value=30 –type=uint8
