After the initial instance creation, a gmond process exists:

| root@toolsbeta-gmond-test:~# ps $(cat /var/run/gmond.pid)
|   PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
|  9080 ?        Ssl   13:25 /usr/sbin/gmond --pid-file /var/run/gmond.pid
| root@toolsbeta-gmond-test:~#

However, this process isn't recognized by Puppet as a ganglia-monitor service so Puppet tries to restart it on every run:

| root@toolsbeta-gmond-test:~# puppetd -tv
| [...]
| notice: /Stage[main]/Ganglia_new::Monitor::Service/Service[ganglia-monitor]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running'
| [...]
| root@toolsbeta-gmond-test:~# puppetd -tv
| [...]
| notice: /Stage[main]/Ganglia_new::Monitor::Service/Service[ganglia-monitor]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running'
| [...]
| root@toolsbeta-gmond-test:~#

Also, this process doesn't feed information to http://ganglia.wmflabs.org/.

Killing this process and rerunning Puppet ("kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/gmond.pid) && puppetd -tv") or rebooting the instance creates a gmond process that is recognized by Puppet and correctly feeds information to http://ganglia.wmflabs.org/.
