Hi smooge, are you there? in a meeting but here. what is up? ok, nothing important, i have answered your email, and have a couple of doubts about puppet on puplictest, but we can talk about later thanks ok thanks. if you can start looking over the documents for collectd I think we will want to work on that for 'smokeping' and to see what other plugins we can use in EL6 (EL5 can use less due to kernel and such) mmcgrath was the expert on collectd so its time to groom a new one. ok, you will put in the noc group for that ? I'll be 'on' collectd docs yeah we are doing the weekly meeting. if you have a chance join #fedora-meeting ok, im on it Stephen hi just got back from walk haven't got to your email yet ok, i know it is late. But i am a little warried about a chat with mmcgrath i have sent you a copy of that if i screwed up something let me know please ok will read. ok I think it is more of talking past people. where two people are saying things but misinterpreting everything so mmcgrath was thinking you were talking about one thing, and didn't get the fact that you were now looking at collectd as the 'collector' versus the smokeping. so don't worry about it. we will just work out from there. ok, i dont want to put you on a trouble did you see https://admin.fedoraproject.org/collectd/ ? nah.. mmcgrath is kind of busy so I think he was misintepreting as this is something that was replacing the other. yes sorry I was not clear earlier. We are using collectd in various ways. but we do not have a subject matter expert in that tool now with mmcgrath moving to another group hmmm I see a ping option is on there, but I didn't see it in our current configs: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/collectd/bin/index.cgi?plugin=ping×pan=86400&action=show_selection&ok_button=OK personally I think the smokeping graphs are prettier :), but it does show what I was wanting... now for you to figure out how it gets there. you should have an account on puppet01 later tonight. with that you can make a checkout on puppet01 of the puppet configs from there it would be looking through puppet/modules/collectd to see where the ping is set up and other parts. yes !!! I think that they are prettier, but I couldn't say that to mmcgrath !!! :) got to go to dinner.. sorry for the confusion :) dont worry. I dont want to bother. thanks for your time
