<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">I scanned your earlier messages, but didn't do more than a quick scan - thus it's possible I've missed something.<br>
<br>
I'm assuming you're running a current debian version and are using a debian packaged smokeping. [2.6.11 *is* pretty old (late 2014), but I don't think that's the source of your problem - but it makes me wonder about how current your debian install is. Which,
is again, unlikely to be the source of your issue - but it's something to consider for the longer term - security and OS updates...]<br>
<br>
So, nothing changed that was a proximal cause of the problem? Like a debian upgrade? It just spontaneously broke?<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color:maroon">GG> The rrd files seem to be getting updated properly,
<br>
<br>
</span></b><span style="color:black">How sure are you that the RRD's are updated? This is the first place I'd start looking.<br>
Running in debug mode often helps.<br>
<br>
smokeping --debug<br>
<br>
Watch the output.<br>
<br>
<br>
--<br>
Enpty graphs is a common symptom of RRD's not getting the data - and that's usually a permissions issue. But the PNG's will get produced.<br>
