[smokeping-users] 500 Error on Master crashes Slaves?

[Jason Yates]

Hi,

There was a config error on my master smokeping box (as a result of somebody trying to add a menu option without specifying a menu or title param), the error itself was resolved within minutes however during the "outage" the slaves must have polled and as a result logged the following (logs are in reverse time order).

Mon Jul 16 15:30:52 2012 - ERROR: no instance of SmokePing running (pid 30738)?
Mon Jul 16 15:30:52 2012 - server has new config for me ... HUPing the parent
Mon Jul 16 15:30:52 2012 - Sent data to Server and got new config in response.

<FPING is still running here. Logs cut.>

Mon Jul 16 15:30:38 2012 - ERROR: we did not get config from the master. Maybe we are not configured as a slave for any of the tar
gets on the master ?
Mon Jul 16 15:30:38 2012 - WARNING Master said 500 Internal Server Error
Mon Jul 16 15:30:34 2012 - Got HUP signal.
Mon Jul 16 15:30:34 2012 - server has new config for me ... HUPing the parent
Mon Jul 16 15:30:34 2012 - Sent data to Server and got new config in response.

Is it possible to stop the slaves from killing smokeping on the first 500 error? Or have it automatically restart? I'd prefer not to have to go around and restart the slave processes each time a config error is made.

Thanks all.
