[Top posting] Here's the FAQ:
https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/11 --- I'll cut and paste from my "usual" spiel. Assuming the isn't a master/slave setup. [I'm not sure why you get a graph on drill-down - that doesn't seem right, but the initial thought matches the FAQ. See if this helps. --- Graphs are empty! These have two root causes: 1) Data not reaching the RRD [round robin databases] Run smokeping in debug mode and watch what it says - you'll probably find some good reasons stuff isn't working and be able to fix it yourself. Like this: smokeping --debug 2) Data is hitting the RRD's as confirmed by --debug. However, you still get an empty graph from the browser. You see: the user smokeping is running as, is writing the data - that's often root or smokeping. However, the thing that's creating the graphs has to read the data - and that's whatever process your web-server is running as. That's often apache or www, httpd or www-data. [It depends on the apache [or how your distro sets it] configuration - or whatever other web-server you're using.] So, make sure that both the user smokeping is running as, as well as the user the web-server is running as, both have rights to the RRD's. [If you aren't sure what apache is running at, have a look at the apache config files. For example Ubuntu 12.04 has the user in /etc/apache2/envvars - and the user is www-data.] So, to spoon-feed you - you'll need to chown the files to something like: chown smokeping:www-data some-rrd-files*.rrd -Greg --- MH> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- MH> Hash: SHA1 MH> On 1/14/2014 12:01 PM, Mark Haney wrote: >> Hi all, I just got started with Smokeping and I'm having what I >> hope is a simple issue.
