I think it's more related to the time spent by smokeping to do his Job. When my ISP failed, a lot of Targets were unresponsive..<br><br> FPing: WARNING: smokeping took 493 seconds to complete 1 round of polling. It should complete polling in 300 seconds..<br>
You may have unresponsive devices in your setup.<br><br>Is it possible ? I just see one line for this alarm in my smokeping logs but on my graphs, i see a blank for 1 or 2 hours...<br>So far, I have 94 targets which are using the Fping probes. Do I need to reduce the offset ?<br>

I ran several smokeping for several months now and all was fine until we<br>
had an issue with our ISP... Following these issues, smokeping sent a lot<br>
of alarms which is what we wanted :-) But after that, smokeping stopped to<br>
update the RRD file and the graphs were not updated.<br>
<br>
Do you know what could cause this problem with smokeping ? Too much<br>
unresponsive devices ?<br>

Are you by any chance using logarithmic graphs?<br>
<br>
I've seem Smokeping fail to update graphs (and the smokeping processes<br>
hanging using 100% CPU) when using logarithmic graphs. I have a patch<br>
which has been in testing for a week but seems stable enough to release.<br>
<br>
The problem I had was that sometimes when you use logarithmic graphs the<br>
minimum for the vertical scale is greater than the maximum, and this<br>
causes something in RRD to get confused.<br>
<br>
My fix is to make sure that the minimum is less than the maximum, but it<br>
seems to me that a fix is also needed in RRD for the problem behaviour.<br>
