Marc any chance you would know in a collectd client server setup how to confifure \
collectd on the server and client to store the RRD files in the server. I have looked \
thru the documentation and still cannot see the rrd files being stored on the server \
from the clients. I can confirm that the udp traffic arrives at my server. I would \
imagine it's a configuration element on the collectd server conf.

Sincerely,

There isn't any notion of failed/recovered "state". If a ping fails, a log message is \
emitted. If it succeeds, nothing is logged. That's all.

I don't know about how OMD works, but would I typically check the values emitted by \
the ping plugin (from one of the available write plugins, or using collectd's \
threshold system) and raise an alarm if the value is above/below a certain level.

Cheers,
Marc
