Hello,

I recently updated my smokeping Target configuration to include about 60 of
our machines in our render farm and noticed that restarting the smokeping
service took about 10 minutes, and now our webpage will not load.

Any ideas?

My config:

Okay, it looks like I was actually using an older version of smokeping.
I've removed it and installed the latest version on the site and my config
is as follows:
http://pastebin.com/ZsLE8uCp

Before, I was able to get smokeping to work fine up until I added the
section:

+ nodes
menu = Render Node Latency
title = Render Node Latency (ICMP Pings)

++ larender001a
host = larender001a
++ larender001b
host = larender001b
++ larender001c
host = larender001c
++ larender001d
host = larender001d

++ larender002a
host = larender002a
++ larender002b
host = larender002b
++ larender002c
host = larender002c
++ larender002d
host = larender002d



Now that I look at the logs, it looks like it's still using the old
version....
[ ... ]
Tue Mar  4 15:03:05 2014 - FPing: probing 5 targets with step 300 s and
offset 116 s.
Tue Mar  4 15:16:01 2014 - Smokeping version 2.006009 successfully launched.
Tue Mar  4 15:16:01 2014 - Not entering multiprocess mode for just a single
probe.
Tue Mar  4 15:16:01 2014 - FPing: probing 13 targets with step 300 s and
offset 163 s.
Tue Mar  4 15:25:59 2014 - Smokeping version 2.006009 successfully launched.
Tue Mar  4 15:25:59 2014 - Not entering multiprocess mode for just a single
probe.
Tue Mar  4 15:25:59 2014 - FPing: probing 13 targets with step 300 s and
offset 159 s.

Before, I used sudo apt-get install smokeping to install, but I later
removed it using sudo apt-get remove smokeping; however, it looks like it
didn't remove the old version? Any idea how I could resolve this so that it
loads up the newer version?

Also, it looks like the version I have running is actually the latest, I
assumed it would output the version as 2.6.9. Sorry

Here is the apache error log that is listing smokeping:
http://pastebin.com/Knm1Cmw1

As for debug mode, here's my output:
http://pastebin.com/8txnhnkv

The host names do resolve; here's an example:
[04:07 PM]superuser at pipeline[/opt/smokeping/bin] > time fping larender001a
larender001a is alive

real    0m0.014s
user    0m0.000s

Forgot to add the smoke.log:

http://pastebin.com/20UbvJVx

At the bottom of the log you can see that I also tried timing fping (the
same command that smokeping was running) and it looks like it took 19.3
seconds to run for a small number of machines. Would that cause it to time
out? Is fping being ran as soon as the cgi script is executed from the
webserver?

Hey Greg,

I took your advice for disabling apparmour which still doesn't help. This
box is definitely not doing anything I/O intensive. It's also a relatively
powerful box (12 core, 24gb ram). It's basically a cron server and web
server for a local intranet occupied by maybe 20 people at the moment but
will be used for more cpu intensive stuff later down the line. I tested top
when loading the page and the footprint was minimal.

I didn't realize I had slaves entered in the slave section, I was just
using the template config, so I removed those. No slaves are configured for
this.

I debugged this further and found that when I upped the default timeout and
found that once apache2 was restarted, it would increasingly take more time
to show the page initially as I increased the number of Targets, however,
once the page was loaded, it would refresh almost instantly. I also
upgraded my local install of RRDTool, however, this doesn't seem to help
the initial load time.

Ensure that the old smokeping process actually got stopped.  Removing
the package will not necessarily *stop* it.

Hi

I use smokeping since a year with a master and a slave configuration, and
everything was working fine until today...

I decided to add a FPing6 probes on my config file, with 2 targets, but
after few hours the slave's graphs are still empty (the ones from the
master are doing great).

I run smokeping from slave with debug, everything looks fine :

But the graphes are still empty ..

- Smokeping version on master & slave : v2.006008
- Every other graphs from the slave are ok.

Any idea ?

Indeed. 
As it was a new folder (ipv6/), permissions weren't set correctly. 
And I was looking in the wrong log file (nothing about the permission error in /var/log/message and syslog). 

Thank you for the help.

Hey guys, first of all, thanks to oetiker for this excellent tool.

Second, I have done the command ( smoke --debug ) and my smokeping says "ERROR:
loading smokeping configuration file /usr/sbin/../etc/config: No such file
or directory". I am using Debian but I am not a master in this O.S by the
way. Also, my local machine does graphics with data but my other host does
not appear the data. In my desesperation I did assigned all of possible
permissions to the other host, like this "-rwx-rwx-rwx 1 smokeping
www-data" and I still dont have data in the new graphic, but in the local
machine I do have and Im not using master-slave configuration. What can I
do?.

Thanks and Regards

You have an error on your config file.
The error says that the file or directory /etc/config does not exist.
Can you pastebin your config some place and share it?

Cheers,

Alert "someloss": no match for target /var/lib/smokeping/Colom/Colom

it was a RRD, so the conf was on Target section. I commented.

Also I saw this part:

FPing: Got fping output: '/usr/bin/fping: cannot bind source address :
Cannot assign requested address

I realize mi source IP was being natted, so I change it and It works!!!.
Thanks a lot

Subject: [smokeping-users] nomasterpoll still creates RRDs
Message-ID: <CAGsjquw4HeU=+hFMFH1d4c-njrh_5qQX9_FeU-JdMNHeXJawVg@mail.gmail.com>

Ehlo!

I'm using Smokeping 2.6.9 and defined target subgroup with
"nomasterpoll = yes" present in config.

Seems this works quite well - on web interface I see no graphs for
tests taken from master host. But still at restart or config reload of
Smokeping daemon it keeps creating RRDs for these hosts.

So assuming I test host 'foo' from slave 'bar' I get two files in
certain RRDs directory:

foo.rrd
foo~bar.rrd

You might have guess that "foo.rrd" is not expected here.

Seems it would be not so big problem if my RRDs would be smaller. In
fact my RRDs are quite big. But even if there would be smaller RRDs,
this still would not look well.

Both slave and master running on Debian 7, Smokeping 2.6.9 "compiled"
from .tar.gz - seems to me that unnecessary RRDs are recreated by
deamon part of Smokeping, not the Web part (maybe due to fact
webserver user do not have right to create files there?)

Any option to fix this by config or anyhow?

Subject: [smokeping-users] Ping stopping periodically
Message-ID: <1395686150.14193.YahooMailBasic@web133206.mail.ir2.yahoo.com>

Hello,

I am running Smokeping 2.2.4 on Windows 7. The ping stop periodically for some remote servers (only the ones with public IP address) and start again when I log on to the server. Obviously, the destinations are still reachable when it stops.

Smokeping works well on some other servers running Windows too.

Do you have any idea to identify the source of the problem ? 
Tell me if you need any further information.
Thank you.

Fran?ois

I'm not sure if this mirrors your symptoms, but I've seen cases where a
target is unreachable for some time - lets call it "Target A"

Yet, for some reason, targets B, C, D, E and F, which are NOT down simply
quit logging data and appear down. I expect this is because fping hangs [or
some other process does] and even though B-F are not down, and only "A" is
down, they all appear down.

I haven't seen this behavior recently, but I haven't had any targets that
are down for many hours at once, recently, either.

In my personal experiencie, the smokeping server was too far to the target.
So mi graphs were in blank for specific periods of time due to the latency.

Hi.

This may be a n00b question, but still ...

I've got Smokeping 2.4.2 running very well - my only problem is that I have to use Internet Explorer 8 or older to view the graphs, otherwise they do not show up. I have tried with IE 10 and 11, Chrome 33 and Firefox 25 with the same results.


-          Is it fixable? or

-          Can I upgrade my installation fairly easily? or

-          Can I set up a new installation and copy the config file from my current one?

what do you see in the web logs when using a "broken" browser?

I think you must have set up web server incorrectly. Here's some bits of my
apache vhost config

        DocumentRoot /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs
        <Directory      /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs>
                Options +ExecCGI
                Addhandler fcgid-script *
                Order           allow,deny
                Allow from      192.168.0.0/24
                DirectoryIndex  smokeping.fcgi
        </Directory>

        Alias   /cache   /usr/local/smokeping/cache
        <Directory      /usr/local/smokeping/cache>
                Allow from      all
        </Directory>

That should stop a bunch of the 404s. Don't forget to kill all the fcgi
processes after reloading apache ("apachectl graceful" for example).

There are no 404's though, because I get the sidebar with the list of monitored hosts, but just the "broken page" icon on the right:
