Smokeping uses whatever syslog program you've got running. For standard Syslog, that would be /var/log/messages. Of course if you are using another syslog tool (there are a few others), it could be different.
Check the file "/etc/syslog.conf" for the actual location. The MAN page for this file is available http://www.netadmintools.com/html/5syslog.conf.man.html. I used to have this problem on FreeBSD. It turned out to be an excessively long DNS delay causing the smokeping iterations to step on each other. Make sure you validate that your smokeping is running. It sounds like it's stopped polling and updating the RRD files. The command "ps -ax | grep smokeping" should give you a list of relevant running programs.

Where does SmokePing write log info? What is the path to the local0/info ? Is it dependent on the OS (Red Hat Linux)? Another problem: My SmokePing server stops collecting data after a few minutes. The graphs show some activity for about 20 minutes and then nothing. I see sendmail running wildly. Are the alerts caused by excessive packet loss from some of the targets cause sending the email and no data collection from all the targets? Please shed some light on this problem! -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
