Smoke-ping 0.86c

[Mika2006]

weell i have something :

[Mika2006]

up
someone can help to find why i have this graph please?

[Mika2006]

well i have make corection of bc g so dowload the direct
link
ping-latency ------> <cacti>/scripts
import cacti_graph_template_smoke_ping.xml on your cacti

well and if you want use icmp make this :

if someon can try and tell me if is good or not??

[tishovo]

Hi everyone, this is my little optimization.

I use this script, but my cacti time is very high. For that reason i change ping_latency.pl like that:

Before edit:
open (PING, "ping -nqc 5 $host|");

After edit:
open (PING, "ping -q -l 3 -c 5 -i .2 -w 5 $host|");

This is my result!

Cacti log before changes:
SYSTEM STATS: Time:285.7572 Method:spine Processes:2 Threads:30 Hosts:83 HostsPerProcess:42 DataSources:2042 RRDsProcessed:1048

Cacti log after changes:
SYSTEM STATS: Time:24.9974 Method:spine Processes:2 Threads:30 Hosts:83 HostsPerProcess:42 DataSources:2042 RRDsProcessed:1048

Best regards,

Yes, yes, timeouts are crucial to scripts ...

Hi,

I'm not sure if the CDEF is correct and I would be very interested in some explanation:

That's the current definition:
Unix - Smoke Ping - Loss 41 -> 80 %
d,40,GT,d,80,GT,UNKN,c,IF,UNKN,IF


And this one is what I think it would be:
Unix - Smoke Ping - Loss 41 -> 80 %
d,40,GT,d,81,LT,UNKN,c,IF,UNKN,IF

Thanks

EDIT: I had been able to follow the execution and I was wrong. It's correct.

[galco]

Hi,

after reading all post I add a change to the ping script that I decided to use. I only initialized loss variable to 100. This way if the host is unreachable you get red graphics because you are losing all pings. That's also is good if you use thold template to trigger an alert.

I wish you like it

[monachus]

roe1234 - Please see Roddie's post from 2006:

The fix is to edit each of the CDEFs (Graph Management/CDEFs) and replace the following values in each of the Custom Strings.

replace bc with d
replace g with c

Once this is done, the graphs should start displaying again.

Your rrdtool output shows that you're experiencing the problem he describes, despite using 0.8.6b.

Hello all . Here much discussions about smoke ping but nobody has not written what install it. The import of the pattern cacti_graph_template_smoke_ping.xml i have understood. But what to do with ping-latency.pl ?

[nebj00la]

For what it's worth, I couldn't get the perl script to work as written. Here's the script that works for me:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

$host = $ARGV[0];

open (PING, "ping -nqc 5 $host|");
while (<PING>)
        {
                if ($_ =~ /(\d+)% packet loss/)
                {
                        $loss = $1;
                }
                if ($_ =~ /= (.+)\/(.+)\/(.+)\/(.+)/)
                {
                        ($min,$avg,$max,$dev) = ($1,$2,$3,$4);
                }
        };
close (PING);

print "min:$min avg:$avg max:$max dev:$dev loss:$loss\n";

[nebj00la]

In my case, the existing regex was catching some garbage ("pipe 3").

This script works:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Ping latency script used for "Smoke Ping" graph template within Cacti

$host = $ARGV[0];

# Ping the specified host with 11 ECHO_REQUEST packets, 3 of which don't wait for a reply,
# wait .2 seconds between each packet with a deadline of 2 seconds,
# display numeric output only, quietly, with summary only.

open (PING, "ping -nqc 11 -l 3 -i .2 -w 2 $host|");
while (<PING>)
        {

                # Oh noes, we has packet loss!

                if ($_ =~ /(\d+)% packet loss/)
                {
                        $loss = $1;
                }

                # Catch min avg max mdev, please.

                if ($_ =~ /= (.+)\/(.+)\/(.+)\/(.+?)\s/)
                {
                        ($min,$avg,$max,$dev) = ($1,$2,$3,$4);
                }
        };
close (PING);

# Print the results

print "min:$min avg:$avg max:$max dev:$dev loss:$loss\n";

Greetings;
I've followed the instructions below:

>>The fix is to edit each of the CDEFs (Graph Management/CDEFs) and replace >>the following values in each of the Custom Strings.

>>replace bc with d
>>replace g with c

>>Once this is done, the graphs should start displaying again.

And have exchanged one error for another. As usual, I'm missing something here.

I seem to be collecting data correcvtly so the script seems to work.

Debug on from graph management returns:

Hey guys!

Hope you can give me a hand on this

I've installed this template without a problem, and configured a host to monitor with it.
But it only graphs in red the down times (please see attached image)

Running the script from the shell returns this data:

Code: Select all

administrator@cacti2:/opt/cacti/scripts$ perl ./ping-latency.pl 192.168.3.1
min:698.737 avg:842.841 max:946.425 dev:82.983 loss:25
administrator@cacti2:/opt/cacti/scripts$ 

And the Cacti LOG, in debug mode shows this:

Code: Select all

01/23/2011 09:15:06 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Time: 3.7558 s, Theads: N/A, Hosts: 8
01/23/2011 09:15:06 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[11] DS[48] CMD: perl /opt/cacti-0.8.7g/scripts/ping-latency.pl 192.168.3.1, output: min:735.785 avg:868.228 max:1025.337 dev:93.193 loss:33
01/23/2011 09:15:03 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[11] PING: ICMP Ping Success (913.263 ms) 

This is the output of the graph debug:

OK

Any clue??

Thanks in advance!!!

[epoxi]

Sorry guys, any clue on this??

It was graphing now almost a week, and only showing the red bars... Also always shows "nan" as max, min, avg :S


Any help, please
