Anyone have any ideas here? Or should I start looking for an alternative to smokeping entirely? If so, any suggestions? To date, I haven't seen any non-commercial options that seem to fill the same niche, but maybe I'm just missing something? At any rate, the current situation as described below isn't an acceptable option. Thanks!
