773169 - Manage Ganglia with PuppetAgain

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 773931

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

We should manage/install ganglia on puppetAgain, in everything derived from toplevel::server.

My largest concern so far is how to balance the current needs of "Releng/MoCo" against the desire for puppetAgain to be independant config-wise from MoCo.

dustin/arr any suggestions there?

Relatedly, our current yum repos also do not have |ganglia-gmond-modules-python| where did we get that from, and do we need to mix-and-match with our mozilla::python install (as in, do we need to create a custom spec for this)?

O... and lastly, because I am nieve about ganglia setup -- does Ganglia depend on nagios to work? and do we *need* something like http://mxr.mozilla.org/build/source/puppet-manifests/modules/nagios/manifests/install.pp#90 for the basic ganglia work ?

ganglia-gmond-modules-python came from the IT yum repo, I believe.  And ganglia and nagios are completely separate products that don't have anything to do with each other.  We have a nagios check that contacts a ganglia server, but that's it.  IT is also setting up nagios to reference ganglia URLs from the nagios GUI (at a past job, we had used these references to point to documentation)

Apparantly I refiled and attached a patch for this, duping forward
