APR Consulting has developed a Ganglia node agent that runs as a native Windows service.

This native Windows service:

  • allows Ganglia to accurately monitor networks which use Microsoft Windows operating systems without the need to install any other components
  • provides information missing from the open source version
  • adds a number of important Windows specific parameters needed when managing large networks of Windows systems.

The binaries are offered unsupported free of charge. Support contracts may be purchased on a per node basis.

See the native Windows service installation guide for more details on this product.

 
     

What is Ganglia?

 

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 leverages widely used technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high concurrency.

The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set of operating systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on thousands of clusters around the world. It has been used to link clusters across university campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with 2000 nodes.
