how to visualize most active users #339

Closed kirk86 closed 5 years ago

Hi and thanks for making ganglia. I was wondering if its possible to get a plot of the most active users, i.e. 1) users who run the most jobs and 2) users whose work has the highest load on the server.

Only way to do this is you have to use either gmetric or gmond python module to emit those metrics to Ganglia. It is not something that Ganglia web does on it's own.

@kirk86 : ganglia is not very good at visualizing lists of very different things, like user names. You can easily view a graph of the number of jobs or the current load average, as time series.

But if you want to report the names of the users with the most jobs, or using the most CPU - then you are better off using something more similar to a distributed "top" in terms of database ?

Thanks folks, @afbjorklund & @vvuksan!
