ganglia-monitor package gmond.conf missing modpython.so

[whitepixel]

Binary package hint: evince

ganglia-monitor installs gmond perfectly fine. the only issue is there is a gmond module modpython.so that isn't loaded with the default distributed gmond.conf. I had to add the following snippet to get it working:

  module {
    name = "python_module"
    path = "/usr/lib/ganglia/modpython.so"
    params = "/usr/lib/ganglia/python_modules"
  }

running sudo gmond -c /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf -d3 confirms that the python module loads perfectly.

The alternative is to have this snippet be placed in /etc/ganglia/conf.d/modpython.conf

Here are some reference material on the matter:
