<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">You are running 2.6.9 given the output. [2.006009 = 2 . 006 . 009 ]<br>
<br>
Hmmm. <br>
<br>
Do those host names [i.e. larender001a] really resolve properly from the SP box? [i.e. without a FQDN? Does "fping larender001a" from a command prompt actually end up resolving?]<br>
This would only work if the DNS suffix handled things properly, I think.<br>
<br>
But the debug log should show you if there's a problem in any of those things - and you show part of it below. Grab a *complete* debug output and carefully look at it.<br>
<br>
If there's parts you don't understand we are glad to help.<br>
<br>
Here's a quick FAQ of the "usual" problems and how to solve them.<br>

Review the smokeping debug logs. Make sure the RRD's are getting written. [Data in]<br>
Review the apache logs to see if Apache is able to get to the RRDs. [Data out]<br>
(Slaves are a somewhat special case - since in their case, Apache is writing the data for the slaves to the RRD's.)<br>

<br>
<span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;">Before, I was able to get smokeping to work fine up until I added the section:<br>
<br>
+ nodes<br>
menu = Render Node Latency<br>
title = Render Node Latency (ICMP Pings)<br>
<br>
++ larender001a<br>
host = larender001a<br>
++ larender001b<br>
host = larender001b<br>
++ larender001c<br>
host = larender001c<br>
++ larender001d<br>
host = larender001d<br>
<br>
++ larender002a<br>
host = larender002a<br>
++ larender002b<br>
host = larender002b<br>
++ larender002c<br>
host = larender002c<br>
++ larender002d<br>
host = larender002d<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now that I look at the logs, it looks like it's still using the old version....<br>

<br>
Before, I used sudo apt-get install smokeping to install, but I later removed it using sudo apt-get remove smokeping; however, it looks like it didn't remove the old version? Any idea how I could resolve this so that it loads up the newer version?<br>

I don't see a database section, so I assume it's somewhere else. [Nothing looks obviously wrong - but that was just a quick glance.]<br>
<br>
But when you first start SP after adding a bunch of targets, it's going to have to allocate/create the RRD for each of the targets. <br>
[Also, are there slaves, because it will create X * 60 new RRD's - where X is how many slave SP instances you have. (In addition to the master RRD's) ]<br>
<br>
I wouldn't think that would take 10m, but I can't see how much data you're stuffing in each RRD, or if you have slaves, which might help explain it.<br>
<br>
As to why web-pages won't work, I'm not sure. Have you looked at the apache logs to see what they say? Or run SP in debug mode? [smokeping --debug<br>
IIRC]<br>

<br>
I recently updated my smokeping Target configuration to include about 60 of our machines in our render farm and noticed that restarting the smokeping service took about 10 minutes, and now our webpage will not load.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
