 Hm, thanks but that's not necessary. I see the move to the

 /etc/smokeping/config has been modified but not the separate files
 @included from it.
 
 Well, I'd say this is a bug...

Fair enough. I doubt it will be fixed though, I think getting automatic
reloading is not worth the effort (particularly because the original
problem described #397609 is so hard to reproduce.)

 So having to kill speedy_backends is now expected behaviour and not a bug.
 I'll update the init.d message and README.Debian.
 
 In fact, /etc/init.d/smokeping could do it itself.  Here is what I do to
 reload the smokeping configuration:
 
 /etc/init.d/smokeping reload  killall speedy_backend

Yeah, combined with some more checks for just those speedy_backends
related to smokeping would make this an adequate solution.

I'm reopening this bug to track this.

Thanks for caring,

Bug#555728: smokeping: does not show graphs for the new configuration

2009-11-11 Thread Francesco Potortì
Package: smokeping
Version: 2.3.6-4
Severity: normal

I have a trivial smokeping configuration, with just some hosts checked
using fping.  I set up a configuration for monitoring five hosts.
Everything is well and has built graphs for more than 10 hours.

Now I change the configuration, add a menu and two hosts.  Apparently
smokeping reads the new configuration, because in the syslog it reports:

smokeping[27324]: Starting syslog logging
smokeping: Note: logging to syslog as local0/info.
smokeping: Daemonizing /usr/sbin/smokeping ...
smokeping[27328]: Smokeping version 2.003006 successfully launched.
smokeping[27328]: Not entering multiprocess mode for just a single probe.
smokeping[27328]: FPing: probing 7 targets with step 300 s and offset 82 s.

But the web page keeps showing the same five hosts as before, and the
same single menu as before.  I have no speedy_backend processes
running, and I tried this even after restarting both Apache2 and Smokeping.

Bug#555728: smokeping: does not show graphs for the new configuration

2009-11-11 Thread Francesco Potortì
Sorry, I have to retire all fo what I said.  It was a trivial error on
my part.

On the other hand, I am subject to the speedy_backend bug: it is
perfectly reproducible and manifests itself with the trivial
configuration I sent in the bug report, so if this can be of any help to
tray and correct it, just ask.
