I just ran into a similar problem with a Smokeping machine I'd set up recently.
Everything was fine (collecting data, graphs showing) until I noticed that the machine's time was off by one month. So I changed the month (backwards). Then ... Nothing. The data wasn't being put into the RRD files and the graph wasn't being updated. After much thought, it occurred to me that two things were going on: 1) RRD would not let the files be updated because, as far as it was concerned, I was putting OLD data into it. Since I'd changed the time BACK one month, it thought that the last update time was 1 month in the future. Hence, it was rejecting updates. 2) The graphs are created by the smokeping.cgi file which is designed to create LAZY graphs -- in other words, if the currently available graph accurately reflects what is in the RRD files, there is no need to waste precious system time/disk/cpu creating new ones. So it doesn't. In my case, the graphs looked like they were 1 month younger than today's date. Hence, it wouldn't create new graphs either. Now I could have gotten fancy and muddled with the RRD files and touch'ed the PNG files... But I just decided to delete everything (RRD's and PNG's). It worked! Suddenly, the graphs reappeared with the proper data on them. One final question -- does the SMOKEPING graphic and the RRDTool graphic show up on your Smokeping home page? If not, then you probably have the .simg settings incorrect in the config file (the voice of experience AGAIN).

I just installed smokeping and followed the guide. Unfortunately, the graph doesn't show up... It's like the file is not there but if you follow the path you'll then realize that it's there. Did any of you had such problem? Any tips?
