What is Ganglia FOR LINUX?

Ganglia

Ganglia is a free, open-source monitoring system that works on any operating system. It’s perfect for keeping an eye on high-performance computing systems like grids and clusters. Plus, it has a bunch of cool features and is ready for enterprise use!

What Makes Ganglia Special?

This software is designed with a hierarchical setup that lets it handle big clusters—up to 2000 nodes! That’s pretty impressive, right? It uses powerful tools like RRDtool for visualizing and storing data, XDR for transporting data easily, and XML for representing that data.

A Multi-Language Marvel

Ganglia was built using popular programming languages like Python, Perl, PHP, and C. The best part? It's web-based and works on any OS you throw at it! Whether you're using GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows, or Mac OS X—it’s got you covered. It even runs smoothly on Apache, IIS, or nginx web servers!

Easy Installation

You’ll find Ganglia in a single archive file that includes everything you need to get started. Just copy those files over to your web server’s root directory (or a specific folder if you prefer). Easy peasy!

Access from Anywhere

After you install it (check out the detailed installation instructions on the project wiki), you can access Ganglia from any computer or device—smartphones included! This flexibility is one of the best things about web-based apps.

Who Uses Ganglia?

A lot of big names trust Ganglia to monitor their systems. For instance, the Grids and Clusters Group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the UC Berkeley Millennium Project use it. Even Wikimedia relies on Ganglia for their Wikipedia website!
