Just last night, we noticed gaps in our graphs too (for the first time), and were wondering what the problem could be. The only suspicion we have so far is DNS - one of the two DNS resolvers in use by the machine we run smokeping on was down, and our gaps correspond to multiple small intervals within the period of the DNS downtime. The gaps are like yours common to all targets, even targets with hard coded IP addresses, which I would not expect to have been impacted by DNS issues. The DNS outage may have nothing to do with it, but can you see if you had a similar issue ongoing during periods where gaps occurred?
