How to install Ganglia 3.4.0 in 11.10?

Question

I am new to this environment. I am trying to install ganglia-monitor-core3.4.0 in Ubuntu 11.10.

But I am getting a error code 1 while executing the configure commands.

Can I do the installation from the root user? Because in an installation guide that I've found, the prompt of terminal started with %, where as for root user it displays # in the terminal. If you come across any installation materials or tutorials please let me know ASAP.

Answer 1

To install Ganglia just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.

On Ubuntu nodes:

sudo apt-get install ganglia-monitor 

(this installs the service ganglia-monitor, which is gmond)

On Ubuntu web interface machine:

sudo apt-get install ganglia-webfrontend 

(this installs gmetad and the web frontend)

Configuration:

• Stats Generation Boxes
• Stats Collection Box(es)
• Ganglia-webfrontend (gmetad)
• Hadoop Statics in Ganglia ¹
