GangliaView – automatically rotate Ganglia metrics

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

GangliaView is a simple web app that allows you to automatically rotate selected Ganglia metrics. We use it to rotate key metrics with large graphs showing last hour and last day and smaller graphs showing last week and last month. A sample screen looks like this

GangliaView is derived from CactiView with a number of changes to make it work with Ganglia and removal of frames. You can download it from here

It is due to following
