Consider using a chef cookbook or similar for MELA-DataCollector #2

Module MELA-DataCollector is concerned with the setup of prerequisites for MELA (such as Ganglia which is used to gather monitoring data). Currently, the module provides some bash scripts to install Ganglia on Ubuntu using simple apt* commands such as 

 apt-get install ganglia-monitor

It might be reasonable to consider a devops tool such as puppet or chef for the setup and configuration of Ganglia (or other monitoring data providers). There are several recipes and cookbooks available for Chef 1 and Puppet 2

Will consider it. We need to analyze if it is a good idea to require from anyone wants to test MELA to install Chef. Might help when multiple MELA data sources would be used on the same service.
