Hi. I am trying to implement Ping Probe using Mrtg/ RRDTOOL on a Windows =
2000/ IIS 5 platform.
I have RRDTOOL working properly monitoring the traffic on various ports. =
I have configured Ping Probe, the graph generates blank, but doesn't =
give any error - either from the web page or from the command line. I am =
sure I am missing something but I can't figure it out.=20
I have included my cfg file below my signature. Hqter1 is the server I =
am trying to ping. I adapted this cfg from the sample cfg included with =
Ping Probe. I could not get the mrtg-ping-cfg file to work either.
Thanks

# Call the ping-probe. You can include arguments to increase

# Some ping programs try to map IP addresses to hostnames
# (e.g. Solaris 2); a DNS failure will cause the ping to
# fail, so you might want to suppress address to hostname
# mapping by passing an option to the pring program. On
# Solaris, the option is `-n', so you would add `-o -n' as
# shown in the second line.
# The third line also sets a timeout. You want this if your
# ping insist on receiving (not only sending) the given
# number of pings.
