Thanks for your help Niko. It runs much faster now. I have the ip addresses split into 8 groups with their own FPing instance. As a followup, I'm wondering if it is possible to have a host in multiple parts of the hierarchy. For example, I have hypothetical host 'A' and it falls under the top level group called 'World', with the subgroup 'Europe'. If this same hostname could also fall under World -> Asia, can I put it in that grouping as well without needing to have a different hostname for it? Could I also do that without having more than one RRD file? I apologize if this is covered somewhere in the documentation. I read the config manpage carefully and did not see it anywhere, nor was I able to find it with a few google searches. Thanks.
