Re: Ganglia Plugin ?

Just forgot to add that you need to open port 80 in StarCluster security
groups in order to allow to access Ganglia via web.
So, in config file you need to add:

[permission www]
# open port 80 to the world
from_port = 80
to_port = 80

and in the [Cluster ....]
permissions = www


Good luck to all,

Sergio
