一．介绍
Ganglia是由UC Berkeley发起的一个开源监控项目，设计用于监控数以千几的节点。每台服务器都运行一个收集和发送监控数据名为gmond的守护进程。它将从操作系统和指定主机中收集。接收所有监控数据的主机可以显示这些数据并且可以将这些数据的精简表单传递到层次结构中。正因为有这种层次架构模式，使ganglia可以实现良好的扩展。Gmond带来的系统负载非常小，这使得它成为集群中各个服务器上运行一段代码而不会影响用户性能。

Ganglia主要用来监控系统性能的软件，通过曲线很容易见到每个节点的工作状态，对合理调整，分配系统资源，提高系统整体性能起到重要作用，支持浏览器方式访问，但不能监控节点硬件技术指标。Ganglia是分布式的监控系统。

Ganglia的组件
Ganglia包括如下程序，它们之间通过xml格式传递监控数据。
服务端ganglia meta daemon(gmetad)：负责收集各个cluster的数据，并更新到rrd数据库中
客户端ganglia monitoring daemon(gmond)：收集本机的监控数据，发送到其他服务器上，收集其他服务器的监控数据，供gmetad读取。
基于web的动态访问方式ganglia PHP web Frontend：一个基于web的监控界面，需要和gmetad安装在同一个节点上，从gmetad取数据，并且读取rrd数据库，生成图片显示。

Ganglia工作模式
Ganglia收集数据可以工作在单播或多播模式下，默认为多播模式
单播：发送自己收集到的监控数据到特定的一台或几台服务器上，可以跨网段。
多播：发送自己收集到的监控数据到同一网段所有的服务器上，同时收集同一网段的所有服务器发送过来的监控数据。因为是以广播包的形式发送，因此需要在同一网段内，但同一网段内，又可以定义不同的发送通道。

二．安装
# apt-get install libconfuse-dev expat libpcre3-dev libpango1.0-dev libxml2-dev libapr1-dev libexpat-dev libpcre3-dev rrdtool librrds-perl librrd2-dev python-dev
# wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ganglia/ganglia%20monitoring%20core/3.2.0/ganglia-3.2.0.tar.gz
# tar zxvf ganglia-3.2.0.tar.gz -C ../software/
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ganglia-3.2.0 --with-gmetad --enable-gexec
# make
# make install

三．配置
# vim gmetad.conf
data_source "cluster-db" node1 node2 //定义集群名称，以及集群中的节点。由于采用multicast模式，每台gmond节点都有本集群内节点服务器的所有监控数据，因此不必把所有节点都列出来。建议写入不低于2个，在node1节点当掉后，会自动找node2节点取数据。启动gmetad时，会进行域名解析的。
data_source "cluster-memcache" 192.168.41.129
rrd_rootdir "/data/ganglia/rrds" //定义rrd数据库的存放路径，gmetad收集到监控数据后，会更新到该目录下对应的rrd数据库中。

对于有两张网卡的服务器，服务器之间的监控通信通过内网，需要如下设置组播网关：
# ip route add 239.2.11.71 dev eth0 //eth0是内网卡

客户端：
安装如上所示
# vim gmond.conf
cluster {
name = "cluster-memcache"
owner = "xuhh"
latlong = "unspecified"
url = "unspecified"
}

host {
location = "192.168.41.129"
}

ganglia PHP web Frontend配置：
PHP环境配置省略
# cp -a /usr/local/src/software/ganglia-3.2.0/web/ /var/www/ganglia
# vim /var/www/ganglia/conf.php
$gmetad_root = "/data/ganglia";
