</div>I don't know if you can do exactly that, but you can probably use the<br>
master to ping just one node and ignore the results. The reason I say<br>
this is that I've had problems with the Smokeping/Apache CGI spinning<br>
at 100% CPU when it can't find some master data to graph. This would<br>
happen when trying to produce the full page of graphs for one node, it<br>
would be fine on showing the synopsis for several nodes. I don't know<br>
if I've just been careless, or unlucky, or if it's, er, a feature, but<br>
it's happened more than once on different installations.<br>
<br>
If I'd had the time to investigate I'd have spent some time creating a<br>
test setup to repeat it, but in each case I've been more concerned<br>
about getting the monitoring up and running than with debugging the<br>
tools so I simply fixed it. If anyone wants to try it, I'd suggest<br>
pointing the CGI scripts to the wrong directory for the collected data<br>
or something like that.<br>
