Hello,

I have started using recently smokeping to monitor latency

It was easy to install on Debian, I like the graphs very
much, I am looking forward to be able to produce such graphs.

Also I wonder what the grey areas means ?

Is it the quantiles ? What instructions are given to to RRD to have
these grey zones ?

I believe the gray zones are the deviation between the ping times for that
round. As for generation instructions, I have no idea how SmokePing writes
the RRD files for such things.

Dear Thomas,

 

You can find a complete explanation here
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/reading.en.html for reading smokeping
grpahs.  I?m not quite sure if this is what you want, cause you also mention
?RRD instructions?, which I?m not aware of them.

 

Bye

Hello,

Today, I had a problem with tcpping binary path. It seems that TCPPing.pm
doesn't allow relative path. I don't have the problem with FPing.

The problem doesn't come from smokeping daemon but from cgi.
What do you think if, as done in FPing.pm, the check of tcpping binary is
disabled when in cgi mode ?

$ diff TCPPing.pm TCPPing.pm_new
96c96

for tcpping presence in cgi mode

Hello,

I have found in the documentation the definition of the grey colors at
page <http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/reading.en.html>

Here is the relevant doc extract:

This means when there are 10 time values, value number 5 is selected
and drawn. The other values are drawn as successively lighter shades of
gray in the background (smoke)

Hi Smokeping users.

 

I'm getting a lot of WARNING apache log clamming this:

 

smokeping_cgi: Warning: RRD parameter mismatch('Different RRA parameters:
/opt/smokeping/data/servs/http/portal~netman-stgo.rrd has
RRA:AVERAGE:5:1:1008, create string has RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1008Different RRA

parameters: /opt/smokeping/data/servs/http/portal~netman-stgo.rrd has
RRA:MIN:5:144:720, create string has RRA:MIN:0.5:144:720'). Continuing
anyway.

 

 

I understand that this is a mismatch between "5" and "0.5" RRD file and
Create String parameter value, but I checked "Database" configuration
section and AVERAGE is set to "0.5". My smokeping implementation consist of
a master server and two slave ones.

I know that somehow average value contained in rdd files has lost the "0."
and I thing this might be because a 32bit to 64bit migration of rrd
databases , which I did following this guide [1]. 

How can I check if this is the problem? And if it is . how can solve it?

 

Thank.
