[smokeping-users] Smokeping not graphing tcpping data

I'm not sure about the second [manual] result, but the debug shows that TCPPing came back with:
uptime:loss:median:ping1:ping2:ping3:ping4:ping5:ping6:ping7:ping8:ping9:ping10:ping11:ping12:ping13:ping14:ping15:ping16:ping17:ping18:ping19:ping20 1408568077:U:20:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U)

[U] - meaning unknown.

Is it possible that the TCPPing executable isn't where you think [or somkeping] thinks it is, and/or can't run it for some reason?

I don't think you should ever get an unknown - you should either get a result or a loss - but unknown may be what you get if SP can't run it properly.

---
One other issue, I see you're hitting the 443 [HTTP-SSL] port. I'd guess this may be part of the issue. I seem to recall issues getting TCPPing to work with SSL sessions properly - how are you going to validate a cert etc.

For that, I think this would be more appropo:
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/probe/EchoPingHttps.en.html 

My gut says it's the HTTPS that's the problem, but both are worth looking into.

Below is a copy of smoke ping debug output, along with the output of running the command manually. I'm not sure why, but I'm not see numerical values returned when running the command manually. I'm guess this is why no data is being logged in the graph. All rrd files are owned by smokeping:smokeping and are have perms of 755.

Any thoughts?
