Ganglia 3.7.2 |
Ganglia is a scalable,
distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as
clusters and grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at
federations of clusters. It has been used to link clusters across university
campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with 2000 nodes.
Ganglia leverages widely
used technologies such as XDR for compact, portable data transport, XML for
data representation and RRDtool for data storage and visualization. The
application uses carefully engineered data structures and algorithms in order
to achieve very low per-node overheads and high concurrency. Ganglia's
implementation is robust and has been ported to an extensive set of operating
systems and processor architectures.
Ganglia is distributed
as a single archive. It contains all the files required to deploy the
application on top of a stable web server. Simply copy files to the root of
your web server or in a specific directory to get started. After installation,
you can access the Ganglia system from any computer, smartphone or tablet
device.
Overall, Ganglia is a
great application that is easy to configure, and has a low footprint on server
performance.
