[smokeping-users] Slave not Updating Master

[Jason Yates]

Nevermind - I'd started the smokeping master process as root by accident so the RRD files were created as root, I assume it's the responsibility of the smokeping.fcgi to update the RRDs from the slaves - as apache runs as apache it couldn't write to the RRDs. Corrected the permissions and the user smokeping is running as and the graphs are updating fine now.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a setup with 1 master and currently 1 slave. I set this up yesterday with a single probe to google.co.uk to prove everything worked with a simple setup, the graphs on the master were being correctly updated. This morning I have updated the master to probe 7 targets (kept google and bbc.co.uk as control tests for the time being). The master is probing and updating the graphs fine however the slave graphs are still empty.

I've restarted the smokeping process on both master and slave and enabled -debug-daemon. On the slave I can see it polling and posting the data to the master but nothing ever happens after that.

Tue Jun 12 09:18:17 2012 - Sent data to Server. Server said OK
Tue Jun 12 09:18:17 2012 - FPing: Sleeping 276 seconds.

The logs on the master don't show any entries for updating RRD files from the slave however when I check the RRD data directory I can see the RRD's exist.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jason
