I'm retracting that. Upon peeking into the smokeping.cgi file and particularly .../smokeping/lib/Smokeping/Graphs.pm, it is clear that the CGI is doing plenty of I/O between reading the RRD files and writing the PNG graph files. If the smokeping config file and/or the RRD files are outside of your Apache chroot, you're going to have problems on the HTTP side of things. The Apache logs will likely confirm this. > > While you're checking the smokeping logs, check the Apache logs > > also to see if the CGI script is logging anything interesting.
