Hi Eric;<br>
<br>
Check your SmokePing logs to see if you're getting a message similar to
"1 round of polling was longer than step" (or something similar, I
can't remember the exact error at the moment). <br>
<br>
If you are getting that message, then there are a few ways to fix it:<br>
<br>
- Increase step time<br>
- Decrease ping count<br>
- Run multiple pollers and split up the hosts to use them.<br>
<br>
Running multiple pollers if you're not already is probably the easiest
fix, because changing the step or ping count will require modifying
your RRD files.<br>
<br>

there any way to minimize – if not get rid of – the holes in the
graphs? I’ve noticed that when a customer is no longer reachable with
the FPing probe, we start seeing holes consistent in all the graphs.
Would increasing the step help correct this? Right now, I have the
step set at 120, and pings set to 20. We monitor over 100 customers
with Smokeping and we use two slaves (one slave in NY and the other
LA). Thank you for any advice on how to correct this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
