Hi Guys, My company provide a monitoring service for out systems in some gold contracts. And one of our customer has requested to implement network monitoring in adition to what we already do.
I did some research and found that this customer is already using SmokePing and that it provides the info we need, so it seens to be the natural choise for me. I built a small lab to make some tests since this customer env is windows only and smokeping was originaly designed to *NIX.i want to be sure that all would work before presenting to my manager as an viable option. I managed to get an standalone server running, and them changed it to a Master an configured a Slave in another windows box. All seens fine until here, the slave is comunicating to the master and the master itself is gathering its data. The problem is, the slave is reporting back to the Master that store the data in a .slave_cache file, but there are entries with duplicated time in here, so when Smokeping in the master process it it generates the following error: RRDs::update ERROR: \smokeping\var/Test/Google~pssla-02-vm-2.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1307502575 when last update time is 1307502575 (minimum one second step). So in the this cache file i see several entries with the same time, and sometimes older entries after newer ones. I am using Smokepng 4.2.4 with RRD 1.2.30. I am planning to move to a newer version of RRD, but since i need to build it from the sources i am only planning to do it when i have all working to present to my customer to plan the final implemantation. I only have graphics for the master data, the slave RRD files just sits there and never get updated. Just a little backgroud on the use, i have several servives distribuited on several servers in 8 sites distributed across the country (a total of more them 80 distinti servers) and i need to test the latency and avaliability of the servers that has any communication. Our productis are telephony related and SIP-Based and demand eficienty networks so the need to monitor it. Having all standalone installs in the servers and the info distribuited would be unmanageble, thus i realy need the Master/Slave funtion working. If this is not possible to get it working can someone recomend a product that can do similar monitoring on windows? Thanks in advance for everyone. Cheer, Thiago Motta
