Hi all,
i am trying to enable distributed polling on existing system based on this toppic: [Preformatted text](https://community.librenms.org/t/creating-distributed-poller-setup-from-multiple-librenms-servers/18847/3)
I now yet finished but after step 3-4 my libre nms stopped working and i received this errors in logs:
Could not connect to database! SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory (Connection: mysql, SQL: SELECT `device_id` FROM `ipv4_addresses` AS A, `ports` AS I WHERE A.ipv4_address = ubuntu AND I.port_id = A.port_id) (Connection: dbFacile, SQL: SELECT `device_id` FROM `ipv4_addresses` AS A, `ports` AS I WHERE A.ipv4_address = ubuntu AND I.port_id = A.port_id)#0 /opt/librenms/includes/syslog.php(21): dbFetchCell()

I want to understand that if the external poller server isnt set then the whole libre wont work?
Thanx for answer.
