Hi Tobi,

No includes here… It must be something specific to the way I have things 
configured. What that is I’m unsure…

If you setup a FreeBSD VM and install Smokeping via ports, I think it should be 
reproducible… unless I’ve somehow screwed up two totally different machines 
yielding the same result, which is very possible. ☺ Maybe it’s something with 
my Apache configuration.

smokeping monitores changes to the config file and reloads the webif. But only 
the config file. If you use @include you have to touch the config file to force 
a reload.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce this.  A restart of Smokeping is all I needed 
to add a monitored host, and the web interface updated immediately.  Maybe 
someone else can reproduce?

I have the same behavior on two different boxes so far. Both are FreeBSD (8.2 
on one and 9.0 on another) with Apache2.2 and mod_fcgi 2.3.6 and Smokeping 
2.6.7.

I can't say I've ever seen that issue but I can test it on my end if you like 
to see if I experience the same thing.

Literally any modification to the config file that affects the web interface 
html content, including but not limited to adding or removing new items being 
monitored by smokeping. The issue is not what’s being modified but I think the 
fact that the old cgi process never dies and continues using the old config 
file until…. I don’t know when. I’ve always had to kill the process or restart 
Apache which also ends the process to make the web interface reflect the 
current configuration file. I’m talking specifically about the web interface 
and not the daemon. There is no problem with that piece. I just never had this 
issue with SpeedyCGI. Perhaps I have something configured wrong.

What "changes" are we talking about?

I’ve noticed in the newer versions of smokeping using fgcid, that any config 
changes aren’t reflected in the web interface until the existing process is 
ended and a new one spawned. Is it just expected that after each change you 
will kill the old process to get the web interface to reflect the changes that 
the daemon is already aware of? Is the smokeping supposed to kill the old web 
process on reload? I never had this issue with SpeedyCGI in 2.4.2 and earlier.

Thanks!
