Sorry - this answer isn't the one to your question-
(I'm too handy with the useless information)-
but if anyone is interested in monitoring clusters,
that subject has come up recently on the Beowulf list.
Look at procstatd from Robert Brown on
http://www.phy.duke.edu/brahma/


"procstatd is a daemon that can be run either from userspace or inetd
that can be queried via a simple API to parse various files in /proc and
transform them into statistics. The returned data is in a simply
parsable ASCII string (in a single packet) and might be used to, for
example, drive a simple display. The nice thing about it is that by
running procstatd's on all nodes of a beowulf or cluster, users or
managers can (with suitable front-end tools) see what the loads and so
forth are."
