do not change the timestamp of a node upon receipt of spoofed data
centrally collected out-of-band data (eg. from BMCs or a blade chassis) which is then spoofed into the gmond network does not mean that the node is actually up. unfortunately ganglia's notion of a node being "up" is based upon the time when data was last received by the gmond network - the "REPORTED" field in gmond's xml. fix this problem by not updating the node's timestamp in gmond if the data source is spoofed data. users that wish to refresh a node's timestamp with spoofed data (eg. if a node consists of only spoofed data) can use the -H option to gmetric to explicitly send a heartbeat message and keep the node in the "up" state.
