 # gmetad_config:
  # conf_dir, sensors_file, sources_file, acl_file are fine
  # to enable mds_url -> uncomment the line, update the server address

  # retr_cmd -> all information can be vehiculated among sites
  #          -> only the summation, etc
  #           -> so far, we used and tested only xml_sum_request

  # tcp_port -> 8653 by default
  # hostname = the hostname under which ganglia should run
  # hostip = ~

  # username is automatically updated by the install script
             -> could be changed to anything else

  # error_file, cache_dir, rrd_dir, nagios_dir, rrd_tool, notavailable should
  # be ok by default

  # sources_interval - how often to reload sources 
  #                  - useful for when MDS is queried
  # polling_interval - how often to retrieve monitoring data
  # Note: these two values should be ok by default

  # export_tag -> tag name under which information is exported (queries)
               -> recommended values: CLUSTER, SITE, GRID
  # export_name -> name under which information is exported
