ganglia [-h,--help] [--format=val] [--formatarg=val] [--formatarg=val] [--input=val] [--select=val] [--selectargs=val] [--xml] [metric list]
This ganglia client parses the XML output of a GMon daemon and reformats the data in a mode suitable for humans or MDS. The human readable format mimics the behavior of the ganglia client from version 1.0 of ganglia (before they switched to XML). The MDS format is tracking the Globus Glue Schema and should be considered a work in progress.
Sets the output format of the client to Default, or MDS. The Default format is ASCII text with one row for each host with a column for each metric. The MDS format is LDIFF and tracks the Globus Glue Schema. Note that Ganglia does not currently implement all the metrics required for the Glue Schema.
Selects the hosts and metrics to be reports to Default, or All. The Default selection is to report all only the metrics listed on the command line for all hosts. The All selection reports all metrics for all hosts. The MDS format ignores this option and always reports all relevant metrics for all hosts.
Tells the client to read its XML data from a file rather than the local GMon daemon.
Prints a simple help message.
Dumps the raw XML received from the gmon daemon. The result is the same as if you connected directly to the gmon using telnet.
Prints the load_one and cpu_num metrics for each host in the cluster.
Prints help message and a list of metrics reported on the clusters.
Invokes ganglia as an MDS provider.
