Hi folks, As I did't get a reply on the developer list at the time. I thought I might try it again on the users-list. So what do you think, good idea ? Bad idea ? ----- Forwarded message from Leen Besselink <leen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ----- Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 00:35:28 +0200 From: Leen Besselink <leen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ceph-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Kyle Bader <kyle.bader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: On Developer Summit topic Ceph stats and monitoring tools Reply-To: leen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) Hi Folks, Today I looked at the blueprint and video on Ceph stats and monitoring tools. And I'm thinking if you want to push data into Ganglia did you consider using sFlow instead ? I've been looking at using sFlow and Ganglia for many different uses, just like they are blogging about: http://blog.sflow.com/ The advantage of sFlow is that many applications/programs, including network switches and parts (like libvirt, openvswitch, kvm) that people would use to build OpenStack already support it. And sFlow doesn't just sent statistics, but also samples in real time. So you actually get much more information. Supposedly it is easy to add sFlow to an application/daemon/programs with very little overhead, but haven't looked into it. Have a nice day, Leen. PS Kyle: I added you to the CC, I thought you might not be on ceph-devel and you seem to be sort of a lead of this project. ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
