It is based on a hierarchical +design targeted at federations of clusters. It relies on a multicast-based +listen/announce protocol to monitor state within clusters and uses a tree of +point-to-point connections amongst representative cluster nodes to federate +clusters and aggregate their state. It leverages widely used technologies such +as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and +RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data +structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high +concurrency. The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set +of operating systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on +over 500 clusters around the world. It has been used to link clusters across +university campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with +2000 nodes. + +You may wish to install www/ganglia-webfrontend to monitor your systems via +the web. |
