[smokeping-users] Re: Graphs Appearing but no reading

[Roberts, Larry]

doest your smokeping config file have IP's for targets or DNS names?  If
your PNG's are empty it would appear to me that your not able to ping the
devices. 
 
I want to make sure if your config files use hostnames, that you are in fact
fpinging the hostnames not the IP's they resolve to.
 
you mention you don't know the fping command. You should have installed the
fping utility while installing smokeping. do an "updatedb" then "locate
fping" ( assuming your using linux ) and see if you have the file installed.
If not, I suspect that not having fping installed could be your problem.

Dear Robert,
thanks for the reply,
actually i can easily ping the ips which i want to ping from smokeping,now i
dont know if theres special command for fping,i used the ping command.
my .pngs are also created but the problem is that that are also empty not
showing the reading.
now i have no clue to this problem
Best Regards
Smokeping user

Did you verify that fping can in fact ping the devices in question? Verify
that the names you have in your configuration are pingable first.

Secondly I would look the RRD files getting created. Are these files showing
data. I don't recall off the top of my head the exact syntax, but I know you
can query the RRD files to find out what they contain. Perhaps someone that
has a working system in front of them can tell you.

If your see the graphs,and they are refreshing then I would say your
permissions are most likely ok because they had to be created at some point.
