Hi Guys,<div><br></div><div>My company provide a monitoring service for out systems in some gold contracts. And one of our customer has requested to implement network monitoring in adition to what we already do.</div><div>
<br></div><div>I did some research and found that this customer is already using SmokePing and that it provides the info we need, so it seens to be the natural choise for me.</div><div><br></div><div>I built a small lab to make some tests since this customer env is windows only and smokeping was originaly designed to *NIX.i want to be sure that all would work before presenting to my manager as an viable option.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I managed to get an standalone server running, and them changed it to a Master an configured a Slave in another windows box. All seens fine until here, the slave is comunicating to the master and the master itself isĀ gatheringĀ its data.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The problem is, the slave is reporting back to the Master that store the data in a .slave_cache file, but there are entries with duplicated time in here, so when Smokeping in the master process it it generates the following error:</div>
<div><br></div><div>RRDs::update ERROR: \smokeping\var/Test/Google~pssla-02-vm-2.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time 1307502575 when last update time is 1307502575 (minimum one second step).</div><div><br></div><div>
So in the this cache file i see several entries with the same time, and sometimes older entries after newer ones.</div><div><br></div><div>I am using Smokepng 4.2.4 with RRD 1.2.30. I am planning to move to a newer version of RRD, but since i need to build it from the sources i am only planning to do it when i have all working to present to my customer to plan the final implemantation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I only have graphics for the master data, the slave RRD files just sits there and never get updated.</div><div><br></div><div>Just a little backgroud on the use, i have several servives distribuited on several servers in 8 sites distributed across the country (a total of more them 80 distinti servers) and i need to test the latency and avaliability of the servers that has any communication. Our productis are telephony related and SIP-Based and demand eficienty networks so the need to monitor it. Having all standalone installs in the servers and the info distribuited would be unmanageble, thus i realy need the Master/Slave funtion working.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If this is not possible to get it working can someone recomend a product that can do similar monitoring on windows?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for everyone.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheer,</div>
