<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
some news after all ;-)!<br>
<br>
My configuration is finally working. To resume I had severals problems<br>
<br>
1) In the first place I had the slave_name <> hostame issue which
as been solved thanks to tobi's patch<br>
2) I had a misconfiguration in my smokepingsecret file : on slave file
you shall only give the secret key of the slave, not with the
"host:secret" syntax<br>
3) Then things where not running (but it was looking like) as I had no
data updated in my ~slave.rrd<br>
<br>
So I finally change my hostname to be my slave name (so I am not using
the --slave_name directive anymore). Then I notice, using TCPDUMP, that
master and host where able to communicate OK but, for example the
master the IP address defined in the slave host file was not matching
the one seen on the slave. This was "normal" because we are using NAT
via firewall between master and slave. So I suppress the NAT function
on the firewalls so that salve and master could communicate using their
real IP address.<br>
<br>
Things appears to work much better. Looking at the logs I finally found
why my rrd could not be updated : It was because the apache daemon
running with user:group apache:apache could not have write access to
the /usr/local/smokping/var where the ~slave.rrd files where located on
the master (because smokeping.cgi is run by apache, not root).<br>
<br>
So everything is OK now, but I still have one question which is not
answered :<br>
<br>
Assuming I have three environment, say envA, envB, envC containing host
and objects to be measured, and assuming I want Master to poll </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">envA, envB, envC and Slave to poll
only </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">envA, envB
(because envC is not reachable form the Slave), how do I set the
"slaves=" directives in order to tells the slave not monitoring envC
???? I have tried to set the "slaves=" directive specifically to envA
and envB but I have the "</font>ERROR: /usr/local/smokeping/etc/config,
line 312: slave1 [slave2]" <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">message.<br>
<br>
Cheers to all of you,<br>
<br>
Stephen.<br>
