Smoke-ping 0.86c

[predou]

Hi !
I create a script and a template graph same as Smoke ping !

Features : Disponibility, Latency

P.S : Sorry , it's in french :p

Hello,

Installed smokeping and it looks very good. Could you give some translation of the french languake used?

Regards,
Michael

"Perte" mean lost packet during the 5 repetitive ping !
"Taux de réussite" mean the disponibility of the equipement => ex : 99 % mean 99 % of ping success in the time interval choosen.
moyenne = average response time of ping
mininum = min ....
maximum = max ....

Anyone else get some really weird characters on the import?
I think it may be a language thing.

Merci beaucoup!
I've made the needed translations from French to English.
Here's my translated XML and a screenshot from how it looks after a couple of polls.

Now... it would be nice if I could show inside the graph what site is being pinged (in the above case "slashdot.org").
Anyone knows how to realize this without destroying everthing gathered so far?

[predou]

i don't understand you kestion lol :p

Explain a little more :p

Something like:
"ping slashdot.org" INSIDE the graph next to "Succes rate".
Tu comprends?

And how to get rid of these reds..? That is "non-data" from before I started collecting. It's not showing up in RRD-Explorer, so it must be empty.

EDIT - Who changed this image?? This is not the one I uploaded way back...

It would be really nice if we could get the full smokeping functionality here too, using fping instead of regular ping. fping gives you a much more accurate picture of latency.

I developp HTTP and SMTP echoping too.

See the template graph for modify name, you can modify text and other

For red line, you can delete the item but when you will have 100 % lost packet, it would'nt be graph !!!

predou,

merci beaucoup pour votre travail.
Many thanks for your work. Comparing this to some other solutions I found some interesting modifications.
In spite of

Code: Select all

ping -nqc 5

I'm using now

Code: Select all

ping -nqc 11 -l 3 -i .2 -w 2

on RHEL 4.0.
-l 3 preloads 3 packets
-i .2 defines the time gap between to pings so it's faster
-w 2 will force the command to stop after 2 seconds maximum
For a more reliable ping time, I increased the ping count (-c) from 5 to 11.

Cheers
Reinhard

To get rid of that initial RED ... i change the color of HOST DOWN from RED to NO COLOR in Graph Template

Duh... so when a system goes down for real that won't show up either..?

I have small script for fping because solaris ping doesn't have -c option in ping. I am reusing the same xml file as attached before with my script that gives same output but all I get is red graph. RRd file seems to get updated but all it has is NaN. Script on command line seems to work fine. Can anyone help ?

Here is my script ....
#!/usr/bin/perl

$host = $ARGV[0];
$ping=`fping -c 10 -p 50 -q $host 2>&1`;
($x, $y) = split (",", $ping);
($xmt,$rcv,$loss) = ($x =~ /(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/);
($min,$avg,$max) = ($y =~ /(\d+\.?\d*)\/(\d+\.?\d*)\/(\d+\.?\d*)/);
$dev1 = $avg - $min;
$dev2 = $max - $avg;
$dev = ($dev1 + $dev2)/2;
print "min:$min avg:$avg max:$max dev:$dev loss:$loss";

yop !
Enable debug mode in Cacti and see what you perl script return to Cacti when update !!!!

When Cacti parse, maybe he not parse good your returns ....
