[jira] [Created] (WHIRR-396) service/ganglia needs non-zero
send_metadata_interval= in gmond.conf
service/ganglia needs non-zero send_metadata_interval= in gmond.conf
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WHIRR-396
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-396
Project: Whirr
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Environment: EC2
Reporter: Paul Baclace
My tests of ganglia+hadoop+HBase on EC2 (aws-ec2) show intermittently missing charts for slave nodes. I suspect it is a timing issue and the Ganglia FAQ points out that send_metadata_interval should be 30-60, not zero, when unicast is used. This is set to 0 in 0.6.0 and changing it to 30 fixes the problem.
For multicast use, a non-zero value is not harmful and might increase startup sequence robustness there too.
Ganglia FAQ:
"In recent versions of gmond (3.1.x), a new global variable was added in gmond.conf called 'send_metadata_interval', with a default setting of 0. Purpose was to reduce network traffic. In 3.1 metric data is sent separately from metadata e.g. metadata contains detailed description, grouping, other possible setting. A value of zero means that the gmond will send metadata when it starts, and no other time (which is consistent with older versions of ganglia)."
