Top posting. Isn't CentOS 7 now using systemd? [Thus, perhaps like in Ubuntu/Debian "service" commands don't do what you want/expect.]
And that would explain most of your symptoms. It doesn't look like Smokeping exits, and if it doesn't exit/terminate properly it's not going to load the new config either. You can try running SP in an interactive debug mode, with the --debug switch. That might help you figure out if the config file has a problem [syntax error that causes it to load improperly] or if it is indeed that the service isn't getting started/stopped/restarted properly. While I'm not of the, "systemd is the worst thing ever, second only to Hitler" school, I'm not a big fan. And I feel pretty out of my depth trying to grok much about it. HTH -Greg Hi everyone -- New user of smokeping ---- I have it up and running on a couple of Centos 7 machines using the yum epel rpm without too much issue. However -- when I try to add a new host in Targets, two things are going wrong. - I cannot seem to shut down smokeping by "service smokeping stop" -- it leaves an instance of apache running /usr/bin/perl ..../smokeping.fcgi When I restart smokeping with kill -HUP commands, and restart it "service smokeping restart" it does not seem to re-read the config file and add in the new host I've just created... Thanks, Tim -- Tim, KA4LFP
