[smokeping-users] Re: smokeping graphs stop generating

[Jeff Foster]

I have that rpm, but I think that smokeping is using the copy I built
from the source (fping 2.4.2_to). I seem to remember trying both copies
after the problem started and both failed. For now I will continue with
the built copy and test with both copies if it fails. Then I will restart
the machine networking and switch to the rpm copy.

I'll send an update when I know more.

Thanks for the response,
