Hi Vibin,

I have seen this behaviour in the past and it turned out to be incorrect 
mail settings - the server specified in the line:

mailhost = your.mail.smarthost

was not reachable, so smokeping was timing out trying to send alerts via 
the Net::SMTP module and stopped logging data for any hosts until the 
failed host recovered. It may be worth checking. If you don't need to 
specify a mailhost just comment out that line and leave sendmail to 
handle the alert delivery, assuming you have the line:

sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail

and sendmail is properly configured to send mail for that server.

Hope that helps. If not it may help to post your config, or the output 
of 'smokeping --debug-daemon' if you can capture it during an outage.

Regards,
Craig
