<font color="#000000">What you would do is create additional FPing
probes:<br>
<br>
<br>
*** Probes ***<br>
<br>
+ FPing<br>
binary = /usr/sbin/fping<br>
<br>
<br>
++ FPing1<br>
++ FPing2<br>
++ FPing3<br>
<br>
(optional: use offset=0%, 10%, 20%, etc, for each probe)<br>
<br>
Then use those 'sub'-probes on some of your targets. It's easiest to
do it by host subtrees so that you're not managing each host
individually... in your case I see you've already split it up by letter
(e.g. SIP-A-E), so those might be good candidates. Simply override
the 'probe' setting for the host group:<br>
<br>
<br>
*** Targets ***<br>
<br>
slaves=nycvpn001 laxvpn001<br>
probe = FPing<br>
<br>
+ SIP_Trunking<br>
menu = SIP Trunking<br>
title = SIP Trunking Customers<br>
<br>
++ SIP-A-E<br>
menu = Customers A-E<br>
title = Customers A-E<br>
probe = FPing1 # This group will use probe #1<br>
<br>
@include include/sip-ae.cfg<br>
<br>
++ SIP-F-L<br>
menu = Customers F-L<br>
title = Customers F-L<br>
probe = FPing2 # This group will use probe #2<br>
<br>
@include include/sip-fl.cfg<br>
<br>
++ SIP-M-R<br>
menu = Customers M-R<br>
title = Customers M-R<br>
probe = FPing3 # This group will use probe #3<br>
<br>
@include include/sip-mr.cfg<br>
<br>
<br>
Each probe runs as a separate process on the operating system, which
means that you're pinging more hosts in parallel. This has the effect
of consuming a bit more CPU and more instantaneous bandwidth, but gets
the round of probing done faster.<br>

you, Peter. I’m still looking at the example you gave and trying to
figure out how this would work for our config file. Here is an example
of our config file. The “+ SIP_Trunking” area is where the bulk of our

Smokeping typically uses syslog for its logging, so the specific
configuration is highly dependent on your environment. Check your
Smokeping config file to see if logging is even enabled, and if so,
what facility and priority are being used. From there you should be
able to figure out what log file things are going to.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
