Fast ping simply pings the device to make sure it's up, so you don't have to wait the 5min interval to check if a device is down. If you go to 1min polling, you would have to do sub 1min fastping for it to really do anything different.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I have two questions: 1) I have about 1200 devices on the LibreNMS server and we had to beef up the resources to make it do what it's doing right now without any issues. Is integrating Smokeping on the same ping recommended and how much compute can we expect smokeping to consume? Or is it good to have it running on a separate VM and then have it as a shortcut on the dashboard in LibreNMS? 2) What's the theme on firefox that you're using? :) Thanks..
Smokeping is not that bad, I would say the biggest resources is going to be writing the rrd files, but I didn't really see a big impact with 10k devices. Smoke ping is on it's own poller cycle so you can ping it as often as you want, it has nothing to do with the librenms poller.
Once you have the standalone web UI configured, I noticed that the UI I'm using is very different - almost outdated. Do you happen to know why the web UI for smokeping is different for you?
Within LibreNMS docs under advanced setup , there is the option to set fast ping check. What is the difference?

Can you do integrating NFSEN next?
I'll look into it, Thanks!

Can you do one for Nagios Plugins?

Any idea?
