Description

Ganglia is probably the most popular cluster monitoring framework today; in its latest release, it has made its web frontend, Ganglia Web 2 (gweb2), a standalone component. It will be nice for Chukwa to support Ganglia Web 2 for two reasons:
(1) Administrators can deploy Chukwa as new cluster monitoring framework, while the users can still use the same graph interface as Ganglia.
(2) With Chukwa, no data will be thrown away, while with Ganglia history data become less accurate overtime.
