Hi Guys,

This is the third I am deploying smokeping and this is the first time I am encountering this problem. Installing the new smokeping resulted in the following issue:

Smokeping daemon is running, fping works but the graphs stay empty. If I would use a DNS probe, the graphs shows a line. With the proble fping I just see a empty graph. Smokeping is run as root, so permissions won't be an issue.


I have created the following config for debugging, also with this config the graph stay empty:

*** General ***

owner    = Peter Random
contact  = some at address.nowhere
mailhost = my.mail.host
sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail
# NOTE: do not put the Image Cache below cgi-bin
# since all files under cgi-bin will be executed ... this is not
# good for images.
imgcache = /home/smokeping/public_html/cache
imgurl   = http://smokeping2.123telcom.nl/cache
datadir  = /opt/smokeping/data
piddir  = /opt/smokeping/var
cgiurl   = http://smokeping.123telcom.nl/cgi-bin/smokeping.fcgi
smokemail = /opt/smokeping/etc/smokemail.dist
tmail = /opt/smokeping/etc/tmail.dist
# specify this to get syslog logging

# each probe is now run in its own process
# disable this to revert to the old behaviour
# concurrentprobes = no
