[smokeping-users] RRD files being created, but the graphs are not updating

[William Vidal]

When you restar one slave, whats happing? Could you please post the logs?

I had a similar problem because of the master unavailability. In your case
was the master restart.

Try see if your smokeping process is running in the slaves. In my case it
was just the fping process.
