----++ Displaying Aggregated Service Metrics in Ganglia

The Nagios-based monitoring prototype is distributed with a "publisher" .cgi script to calculate aggregate service metrics and publish these through the web interface as XML. 

Whilst other Nagios-Ganglia integration methods are possible this documented describes a simple integration of this XML publisher interface allowing aggregated metrics to be displayed in graphical form in the [[http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/][Ganglia]] monitoring system Cluster view as shown in the screen clip below.

   1. Download the script =wlcg2ganglia.pl= from the repository [[https://www.sysadmin.hep.ac.uk/svn/grid-monitoring/trunk/fm/ganglia/tools/src/wlcg2ganglia.pl][here]] and install in =/opt/lcg/sbin/=
   1. Install a cron (e.g. on the Ganglia server) to fetch the aggregate metrics published on the Nagios server and push them into Ganglia. *Note* ganglia 3.0.4 or above is required because of the use of gmetric host 'spoofing' feature. e.g. create =/etc/crond/wlcg2ganglia= with contents as follows
      <pre>
      PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
      * * * * * nobody /opt/lcg/sbin/wlcg2ganglia.pl -s CERN_PPS \
                -u https://pps-monitoring.cern.ch/cgi-bin/publisher.cgi  >> /dev/null 2>&1 </pre>
   1. Patch 2 ganglia .php files in =/var/www/html/ganglia= using the patch data below.

When completed 3 additional summary graphs for local and remote (SAM & NPM) metrics should be displayed in the Ganglia Cluster view.
