Not all Ganglia metrics are suitable for aggregation, such as those of “String” type. By default, only the 24 metrics listed in the following table are supported (either of type “Real” or type “Integer”):
Table C-1 Supported Ganglia Metrics
The monitoring function of PlateSpin Orchestrate does not display some of the metrics of monitored Windows servers. The non-displayed metrics include:
cpu_aidle
cpu_nice
cpu_wio
disk_free
disk_total
load_fifteen
load_five
load_one
mem_buffers
mem_cached
mem_shared
part_max_used
proc_run
In addition to these non-displaying metrics, two others show incorrect values in resource facts:
os_name
os_release
In the Monitoring Web interface and in the VM Client, the absence of these metrics appears as a missing page. In the Development Client, the monitored resource’s fact values corresponding to these metrics all show as zero (0), except for the os_name and os_release metrics, which display incorrect values.
This is a known issue that exists for the Ganglia monitoring system on Windows. For more information, see the SourceForge mailing list discussion.
