I see no response to you so far so I'll chime in with what little help I can, just to keep you from tearing out more hair. :) I'm using multiple TCPPing targets, but apparently I'm not as fussy as you are about the configuration files. Perhaps I haven't run into the issue you describe because I haven't done what you're trying to do. However, it seems to me that you might learn more by running smokeping in debug mode on the master than you will learn by running it that way on the slaves. You might also want to check what .rrd files are being created on the master. I did a very cursory skim through the code to see if I could see anything obvious that would explain what you see, but I'm not using the same versions of things that you are so it would be pointless my spending a lot of time doing that. Nothing jumped out and bit me, but I did wonder if you have the TCPPing.pm and FPing.pm modules in the same directory, or perhaps more than one of them that might be found, say from an old installation. My guess is that this is either (1) a misunderstanding about how the configuration works (unlikely, since you've apparently done what you want using the FPing probe but not using TCPPing), (2) an installation problem (easily messed up if you've used both packages and tarballs for example), or (3) a bug in the Smokeping.pm or TCPPing.pm modules (plausible, if you've read the code:). If you need any help debugging I'll be glad to lend a hand (two complete sets of configuration files exactly as you're using them and detailed version information would be a good start) but check the debug output on the master first. I'm not one of the smokeping developers, but I've hacked the code a little for my own purposes. Most of the time I'm only monitoring a couple of dozen machines, there are people around here running several thousand. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
