[smokeping-users] TCPPing - glob -- how to fix this?

[Christian Vo]

hi Igor,

thanks for the tip -->  I re-installed tcptraceroute and now
1) from smokeping --debug , I can see proper data collected and smokeping
seems to graph the value as expected (good)
2) however, when I run smokeping as a daemon,  it doesn't seem to graph
(bad)

the newer tcptraceroute was installed into /usr/local/bin,  and I tried
sym-link to /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute
tcpping is still there as /usr/sbin/tcpping

I'm not sure it's a tcpping issue at this point, but I checked  the
imagecache and datadir , perfmissions seem to be ok.
as a test (new target anyhow) I deleted the rrd and imagecache folder for
this target, but new graph still doesn't show anything.
I can see timestamp update on the rrd file but nothing gets generated in
the graph.

any ideas?  it could be something really simple that I missed, but I'm
drawing blanks =(

Christian
