[smokeping-users] Re-arranging menus, files

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Al,

this sounds about right ... make sure you kill not only smokeping
but also the webinterface (speedy).

note, smokeping will never remove rrd files, so the danger is not
all that great, except that new rrd files could get created.

cheers

I want to rearrange my menus because of organizational changes. I think this can be accomplished by stopping Smokeping, changing the config info for the affected items, mv'ing (renaming) the appropriate files and/or directories and restarting Smokeping. Here's an example of what I want to do
