Ganglia (software)

Ganglia is a scalable, distributed system monitoring tool for high-performance computing systems, clusters and networks. The software is used to view either live or recorded statistics covering metrics such as central processing unit (CPU) load averages or network utilization for many nodes.

Ganglia software is bundled with enterprise-level Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or the CentOS repackaging of the same. Ganglia grew out of requirements for monitoring systems by the University of California, Berkeley but now is used by commercial and educational organisations such as Cray, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), NASA, and Twitter.
