Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and grids. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Ganglia on a Windows 10 environment.
First, you will need to install an Apache HTTP server. If you don't have one installed already, you can use a pre-built package such as XAMPP (https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html).
Next, you will need to install PHP. You can download the latest version of PHP from the official website (https://windows.php.net/download/). Choose the VC15 x64 Non Thread Safe version and extract the contents to your desired location (e.g., C:\php).
Open the PHP installation directory and locate the php.ini-development file. Rename the file to php.ini and open it in a text editor.
Make the following changes to the file:
extension_dir = "C:\php\ext"
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_snmp.dll
Save the changes and close the file.
Download the latest version of Ganglia from the official website (http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/). Extract the contents to your desired location (e.g., C:\ganglia).
Open the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) located in the conf directory of your Apache installation directory (e.g., C:\xampp\apache\conf).
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
Alias /ganglia "C:/ganglia-3.7.2"
<Directory "C:/ganglia-3.7.2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
# PHP Extension
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Save the changes and close the file.
Start the Apache server and open a web browser. Navigate to http://localhost/ganglia. If everything is working properly, you should see the Ganglia home page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ganglia on Windows 10. Now you can use Ganglia to monitor and manage your high-performance computing systems.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
