I've recently started co-maintaining the smokeping package in debian with Antoine Beaupré and I've worked on updating the package to 2.7.3.
it was recently brought to my attention (on the smokeping users mailing list) that this bug existed in the ubuntu version of smokeping. This bug is specific to bionic (at least in terms of ubuntu LTS releases) because the version of smokeping shipped in bionic is not compatible with the version of fping.
I've written a fix for upstream that was merged before 2.7.3 was released, and so I believe that by cherry-picking this patch we'd be fixing the issue for ubuntu.
I'm currently trying to figure out how to produce a debdiff for easier consumption by someone that can push a change to ubuntu. If I don't send a debdiff this week-end though and someone is able to easily integrate the above patch in the package, then please do go ahead and don't wait for my input! I'll try and do my best to format this during the week-end though.
