1) I assume that you've checked for a speedycgi package in your
distro's repositories first? Speedy is pretty common (though
obviously outdated) and most distros should have a pre-patched,
pre-compiled binary available. If not, search through the archives
for this list -- someone JUST submitted a patchset to use FastCGI
instead of Speedy (seriously, I think it was the post before yours
on the list!).<br>
<br>
2) Absolutely, you can run multiple probes in parallel. The
documentation available at smokeping.org covers this, and there have
been many threads on this list about that topic. Consider also
changing your 'step' and 'pings' values to meet your requirements --
you're essentially balancing granularity vs performance. It can
take a bit of guesswork and futzing with numbers to get something
that works for you.<br>
<br>
3) I don't see a problem scaling to 5600+ nodes with Smokeping if
it's configured properly (there's the rub, of course). I honestly
don't know of any other F/OSS software that does the same thing that
Smokeping does, unfortunately (though IIRC, someone did write a
"Smokeping-like" module for Cacti a few years ago.... maybe check
cactiusers.org (again IIRC) if you're interested in this option). <br>

Smokeping. Meaning that I have 5600 devices to ping. Some 10% -20%
have high latency 1000ms+. Currently I have about 1200 nodes in
smokeping. This is a new build. I am building this on a OpenSuse
11.4 x86_64 platform. I am running into problems.

<div>1. SpeedyCGI does not compile on this version of Suse even
after my best effort. I have attempted to make use of fastCGI,
but I dont know that I am doing it right. The
menu(smokeping.cgi) is large. Its by State then City in my
config. It maxes out my cpu (1 of 4) when you open smokeping,
because of this, page load times are pretty slow and it will
only get worse as I add more nodes. (snip build output - PK)<br>
</div>
2. Because of the number of nodes, fping poller does not finish in
300 seconds. I have blazemode enabled. Is there a way to run
multiple fping probes or increase parallelization? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

</div>
<div>3. If smokeping cant practically scale to this size, Does
anyone have an open sourced suggestion. I am also running cacti
and it has scaled rather well.</div>
