Hello Tobi,<BR>
<BR>
Never mind my criticism, thank you for a great tool. I set it up, put in 3 slaves. All monitoring good so far.<BR>
<BR>
Now the problems:<BR>
<BR>
a. What is the fix for this issue? I don't believe everyone is using it like that. The purpose of graphing... is so that we do not need to read the fine print. When I looked at that graph, I was to have a heart attack. How can I show something like this to my boss? I use cacti as well and I don't have this problem. Nothing is clear from these graphs beyond a day.<BR>
<BR>
b. The UI needs serious improvements. 70% of my screen is empty. Why not to plug in 4 graphs there?<BR>
<BR>
c. What is Speedy CGI? I had hard time trying to find it let alone being able to install it?<BR>
<BR>
d. Do the slaves need all these dependencies? Can't you make a stripped down version? Since they don't need any cgi, graphing, etc.<BR>
<BR>
e. I had to install 42 rpms to get this working! I had to take 3 srpms from Fedora and recompile them on Redhat 6. Take Fedora SmokePing RPM, recompile on Redhat. Yet, I still have version 2.4.2. I spent 2 days. This doesn't have to be so painful!<BR>
<BR>
Thanks again for all your work (smokeping, mrtg, rrdtool, and all).<BR>
