[smokeping-users] Smokeping is stoping to collect information via RemoteFPing.

[Sergey Ivanov]

Problem:
Smokeping is stoping to collect information via RemoteFPing.

Description:
After an several hours of work smokeping is stoping to collect information
via RemoteFPing probe.
I'm discovered an one _hanged_ RemoteFPing job in running processes in that
moments. And that job is _never_ finishing up.

I have some packet loss between smokeping_host and remote_fping_host (it's a
radiolink). I think that the reason of hanging up is that packet loss. Then
i'm trying to manually kill that hanged remotefping job - smokeping is
resuming and continuing to collect information from others probes without
problems.

Some debug information:
I'm using it on slackware and debian linux with the latest rrdtool/libs/etc
compiled manually from the sources.

# rrdtool fetch myobject.rrd AVERAGE -s -1h

1083246300: nan 0.0000000000e+00 3.3827010000e-02 2.5839726667e-02

That message appears in the logs, then i'm trying to manually kill hanged
job:
> WARNING: smokeping took 1221 seconds to complete 1 round of polling.
> It should complete polling in 300 seconds. You may have unresponsive
devices in your setup.

Is it possible to resolve that problem in the feature realeses?
Maybe it's reasonable to add some timeout function in smokeping, to prevent
it from waiting for an hanged jobs completing?

I'm sorry for my pure english.
