Hi
A curious problem. I have some probes that are set to only run on slaves. E.g. myProbe might be set to run on slave1 and slave2. I used nomasterpoll=yes on the master to block the master from trying to run the probe. All appears to work fine. The slaves get the config, they run the probes, they generate results and upload to the master. The data sits in the smokeping directory in the slave_cache files. BUT the master process ignores the data - i.e. it just sits in the slave_cache file and keeps growing. As soon as I remove "nomasterpoll" the master reads all the cache data into the rrd files. The work around is to define a "dummy" target on the master with host=127.0.0.1 and hide=yes. This guarantees the master will always have at least one target of each probe and it is hidden on the menu. This solves it. Is there a better way to make this work? I have a feeling the problem is if the probe is "skipped" on the master, then that "probe process" never gets to read in the slave data. Is this by design? Thanks David
