[smokeping-users] Question about master/slave and master outage

[Chris Krough]

http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_master_slave.en.html

"The slave tries to contact the master server after every round of
probing, supplying its results. If the master server can not be
reached, the results will be sent to the server together with the next
round of results. Results will be stored in a perl storable so that
they survive a restart of the smokeping instance."


I wonder if there is a limit to how long it will store the results..
