hi, what can be done for 2 nd query?

2)Practical problem happening is that some of the nodes reboots but
xymon
doesnt show it. it may be because that happens in betwwen the polling
 period of the server. how to overcome this issue?same thing happens
for disk and ncpu and external tests also that it does not identify
and show these problems as it must be occuring in betwwn polling
period .How to make it fast as ganglia
Are the nodes in this case servers?  The hobbit/xymon client will turn the
cpu test yellow for an hour after a reboot.  Are you not running the
client?  You can tweak things to shorten the polling period and do tests
in parallel, but you'll probably quickly hit scaling issues on the Xymon
server.
