This is the first article in a two-part series that looks at a hands-on approach to monitoring a data center using the open source tools Ganglia and Nagios. In Part 1, see how to install and configure Ganglia, the scalable, distributed monitoring system for high-performance clusters based on a hierarchical design. Also learn how to add more monitoring capability by writing Ganglia plug-ins and by enabling external-source spoofing.

This article will walk you through Installing and configuring the basic Ganglia (a scalable, distributed monitoring system for high-performance clusters) setup. It will also show you how to use the Python modules to extend functionality with IPMI, and how to use Ganglia host spoofing to monitor IPMI. The goal is not only to set up a Ganglia high-performance Linux cluster monitoring system, but also to add more monitoring capability by writing simple Ganglia plug-ins.
