[Ganglia-developers] include() in gmond.conf not working as advertised

[Ramon B. <bas...@sa...>]

Hey all,

It seems to me that the include() of extra configs does not work as 
advertised on the website.
It only works from outside config sections.

-- this does not work --
gmond.conf now processes include() statements
    This simple feature provides more flexibility in configuring gmond. 
e.g.

      globals {
        include(globals.conf)
      }
------------------------

When you try this it says:
---
Starting Ganglia Monitor Daemon: no such option 'include'
Parse error for '/etc/gmond.conf'
---

However if you set it up like this:
---
globals {
...
}

include( location.conf )

collection_group {
...
}
---

This does work.

Perhaps the site could get a update on this?
Also, in the gmond.conf man page the include statement is not mentioned 
at all.

Kind regards,
- Ramon.
