I'm now running Smokeping 2.2.4 on PCLinuxOS 2007 (Slackware Derivative) and have a few questions that I couldn't find in the docs. Apologize in advance if I missed it.
1. What is the correct way to gracefully shutdown smokeping? I see there is a reload/restart option but not a stop. I can easily kill it with a SIGTERM and utilizing the pid file however as the pid file remains, I was wondering if this is the correct way to let smokeping let it's probes finish and cleanup before exiting. Thought the pid file would be removed on a graceful exit. 2. I had removed a target from the config and after restarting smokeping it was generating a "missing section" error for that target on the web page. A sledgehammer approach was to remove the cache/data files and it worked after that. I had tried to just remove the files I thought were related to the removed target but that wasn't working. Is there a cleaner method to remove targets or should smokeping ignore targets that are not defined in the config? 3. As I'm still "tweaking" things, do I need to remove already existing rrd files when changing things such as step and pings for those targets? Appreciate the help. Many Thanks -Scott _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
