    Status: Answered => Open

Mark Seger is still having a problem:
very cool.  I'll have to give the newer docs a read.  would sure be nice
if even if there isn't time to redo the grapite website to at least say
to look elsewhere.  ;(

so I looked at my data and realized the interval was set to 1 minute
which is far too high, so I dropped it to 10 seconds, killed carbon,
removed the old files and restarted it.  Data still getting stored in 1
minute buckets.  clearly there is more to getting things synchronized.

so to be clear, if I don't update anything in the conf file all files
will be configured the same way?  that's exactly what I want.

now if I can only get the webapp working.  ;(

fwiw - I do seem to have collectl working correctly and logging data to
graphite.  if anyone is interested, collectl can grabs tons more stuff
than most other monitoring tools and do it all from one place in a very
light manner.  here's a quick overview of the types of data it can
collect:

The following subsystems can be specified in any combinations with -s or
--subsys in both record and playbackmode.  [default=bcdfijlmnstx]

These generate summary, which is the total of ALL data for a particular type
  b - buddy info (memory fragmentation)
  c - cpu
  d - disk
  f - nfs
  i - inodes
  j - interrupts by CPU
  l - lustre
  m - memory
  n - network
  s - sockets
  t - tcp
  x - interconnect (currently supported: Infiniband and Quadrics)
  y - slabs

These generate detail data, typically but not limited to the device
level

  C -  individual CPUs, including interrupts if -sj or -sJ
  D -  individual Disks
  E -  environmental (fan, power, temp) [requires ipmitool]
  F -  nsf data
  J -  interrupts by CPU by interrupt number
  L -  lustre
  N -  individual Networks
  T -  tcp details (lots of data!)
  X -  interconnect ports/rails (Infiniband/Quadrics)
  Y -  slabs/slubs
  Z -  processes

I'd love to have someone take it for a spin with my test code and once
we're all happy I can make it part of the standard package.  To learn
more about collectl see collectl.sourceforge.net
