<DIV>Thanks for your response. I set the permission accordingly, but I still have the same problem. The .rrds and slave_cache files are being created, but the graphs are still blank. I ran a debug on the slave and everything went fine...it ended with "Sent data to Server. Server said OK," and the pings showed the latency I was expecting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I dump one of the .rrd files to xml and view it in an editor, it is has a small amount of real data at the beginning, but it is mostly full of NaNs.<BR><BR>>>> Peter Kristolaitis <alter3d@alter3d.ca> 1/7/2009 2:25 PM >>><BR>The directory that holds your RRD files must be readable/writeable by<BR>both the Smokeping process AND the webserver.<BR><BR>e.g. If<BR> - Your httpd runs as 'www'<BR> - Smokeping runs as 'smokeping'<BR> - In the Smokeping config, datadir = /var/www/smokeping/rrd<BR><BR>Then,<BR>- Create a new group called 'smokeping'<BR>- Add both the 'www' and 'smokeping' users to that group<BR>- chgrp smokeping /var/www/smokeping/rrd<BR>- chmod -R 775 /var/www/smokeping/rrd<BR><BR>That should clear it up.<BR><BR>If that doesn't work, run one of your slaves with --debug and see if it<BR>spits back an error of any kind.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Seth Lyons wrote:<BR>> Greetings!<BR>> <BR>> I am attempting to run a distributed smokeping setup in FreeBSD.
