Hi Jon,
Thanks very much. As you said, I create one session on the master,(the code
I give in last email is also firstly creates one session on the master ),
then I use that session for querying the RRD data on one slave.But it shows
failure* ['HOST_OFFLINE'], *that means I attempted an operation which
involves a host which cannot be contacted.

I want to confirm one thing: where is the RRD of slave stored? master host
or slave host itself? I think it's slave.
How do I use the session on the master to query the RRD data on each slave?
Can you give me a sample?


Thanks and Regards,

Will
