Hi Marc, the polling part, as long as you use fping should work fine, as for the cgi, creating 300 graphs will take in the order of 1 minute ... so I would suggest you order your tree in a manner that not too many hosts are sitting on the same brance, then it should be no problem ... Smokeping is certainly much more efficient in generating graphs than cricket as all the graphs get generated by the process which displays the webpage, and not through additional processes which get launched upon dispaly of the grpah (maybe cricket fixed this in the mean time) tobi > > TIA, > > Marc > > > -- > Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users > WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi > -- ______ __ _ /_ __/_ / / (_) Oetiker, ETZ J97, ETH, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland / // _ \/ _ \/ / phoneto:+41(0)1-632-5286 faxto:+41(0)1-632-1517 /_/ \.__/_.__/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://google.com/search?q=tobi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
