<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">See your config file for<br>
<br>
datadir = /var/lib/smokeping/rrd<br>
<br>
The datadir is where the RRD files are located. [That line above is my working config on one of my boxes...]<br>
<br>
(I just pulled your up and see: datadir = /usr/local/smokeping/var/data - so your assumption below was right.)<br>
<br>
I know nothing about remote mount points, and I'm not sure how that's going to work.<br>
[My guess is the RRD daemon won't be able to successfully read/write to a remote CIFS mounted drive. But really, I dunno.]<br>
<br>
Perhaps:<br>
Have you checked with the rrd tools to see if they can open the data-files on the remote mount? <br>
You might get a useful error message or logs from trying that.<br>
If you can open read/write the files with rrdtool, then SP ought to work right too.<br>
<br>
Bigger, more basic question:<br>
However, why not move the whole thing, vs just the data?<br>
If you want to split things, then perhaps reading up on master/slave servers would be a good plan and migrate the config/install that direction.<br>

Don't hold me to it, but I think you're accessing the wrong data. The data is usually stored I where Apache's httpdocs are, in a folder called cache. In my case that's /var/www/html/cache. Note that I do have a custom setup, but if you like, when I get home I can attach the part of my SmokePing config that handles that.<br>

hi all, <br>
<br>
Im experiencing heavy I/O in my smokeping server. Because of that it is required to migrate my rrd folder to separate server and redirect smokeping data to that server.<br>
My config file attached here.<br>
<br>
Here are the steps I followed.<br>
1) Create remote mount point to the smokeping server<br>
<br>
vi /etc/fstab ---------------------------> //<remote-ip>/smokeping /mnt/smokeping cifs username=xxx,password=xxx 0 0<br>
<br>
2) I think my all rrd files stored in /usr/local/smokeping/var/data .Then I copied all rrd data to the newer folder in remote server<br>
<br>
3) I created a soft link ----------------> cd /usr/local/smokeoping/var <br>
ln -s data /mnt/smokeping<br>
<br>
I can successfully access the remote mount point. During that time It did not update the graphs in my web server.(attached graph) .<br>
<br>

<br>
<span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;"> Then I revert back the config to my previous one.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please provide me a way to migrate all my rrd files in smokeping server to remote one. I cannot understand why my method did not work. <br>
<br>
What is the actual file location of my rrd file ? Am I accessing to wrong data. Please help me<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
<br>
