Hi folks,

As I did't get a reply on the developer list at the time.

I thought I might try it again on the users-list.

So what do you think, good idea ? Bad idea ?

Hi Folks,

Today I looked at the blueprint and video on Ceph stats and monitoring tools.

And I'm thinking if you want to push data into Ganglia did you consider using 
sFlow instead ?

I've been looking at using sFlow and Ganglia for many different uses, just like 
they are blogging about:

http://blog.sflow.com/

The advantage of sFlow is that many applications/programs, including network 
switches and parts (like libvirt, openvswitch, kvm) that people would use to 
build OpenStack already support it.

And sFlow doesn't just sent statistics, but also samples in real time. So you 
actually get much more information.

Supposedly it is easy to add sFlow to an application/daemon/programs with very 
little overhead, but haven't looked into it.

Have a nice day,
        Leen.

PS Kyle: I added you to the CC, I thought you might not be on ceph-devel and 
you seem to be sort
of a lead of this project.
