+ganglia (distributed monitoring system)
+
+Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for
+high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids.
+It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations
+of clusters.
+
+1. This SlackBuild is just going to build Ganglia without 'gmetad',
+ which collects information from ganglia monitor clients, and
+ writes them to RRD databases. If you want to enable this, you'll
+ have to enable it with the OPT variable and 'gmetad' as value,
+ then execute the build script as follows:
+ OPT=gmetad ./ganglia.SlackBuild
+
+ In order to build gmetad as part of this package, you'll need
+ to have RRDTool installed. It is available from SlackBuilds.org.
+
+2. The Ganglia web frontend is distributed as a separated SlackBuild:
+ ganglia-web.
