slaves and web servers

Do the slaves really need to have web servers installed? If so, why? According the install instructions,
the slaves need everything a master has, but it gets its config from the master.

Thanks for your help!

Re: slaves and web servers

Ok, great. One last question. When I setup two slaves, im assuming the 
master is still used as a source of information as well? That way I have 
information being gathered by 3 sources (Master, Slave 1, Slave2)?

Thanks,
Mark

Re: slaves and web servers

Hmm. I think i have it setup correctly and the slave rrd's are being 
created, but this is what my charts are looking like:

Seems my two slaves are showing with the same name and all their 
results are empty.

Re: slaves and web servers

Here is a snippet of my master config where it relates to the slaves:

It is by default, yes, but can be disabled - see the 'nomasterpoll' option:

skip this entry in its polling cycle. Note that if you set the hide property on a non leaf entry all
subordinate entries will also disapear in the menu structure. You can still access them via direct link or
via an alternate hierarchy.

entry will still show up, but will not contain any graphs.

You can apply that at any level within the Targets section, and it will
be applied to subordinate targets.

Re: slaves and web servers

So no one has any tips to getting smokeping to get run as a different 
user on centos? Its extremely simple on Ubuntu systems, but centos 
doesnt have the same options or init script. I need to get smokeping to 
run as a different user than root in order to get this slave setup to 
work.

Thanks,
Mark
