Thank you both, the issue is resolved. It's already a big help knowing
the traffic type and using the debug option in the slave side helped
rule out firewall related issues. 
Apparently running smokeping on Ubuntu and OpenSuSE has it's differences
on needed access rights for the data dir on the web server. I need to
run more tests to see exactly what was wrong (file and dir ownership or
simply write access) but it definitely had to do with access to the data
dirs.. The systems in question were on Ubuntu server.
One thing I would like to note is that when running a master-slave setup
it is important to give ownership for the smokeping-secrets file to the
apache user on the server side. If not, the slave cannot authenticate
itself to the server. That is important as it is necessary for that file
to not be world-readable. It might seem obvious for system oriented
engineers but being a network guy myself I had to figure that out for
myself. Maybe a relevant note on the website would be a good idea.
Now I 'll need to search the archive for a
starting-smokeping-at-boot-time script ;).

question - what is the data network traffic type?

Yes.  HTTP POST requests.

To begin with check the archives for questions similar to your "missing
graphs" issue.  My subjective impression is that it's just about the
most common question on this list.

You might also want to try Smokeping's --debug-daemon option.
