<tt>David,</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Try using the "nodata_color" parameter with the code
for the
color you want. I think I needed to add that to get the
behavior you are
looking for. For example, I use this:</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>nodata_color = f88017</tt><br>
<tt>loss_background = yes<o:p></o:p></tt></span></p>

thanks. forgot to mention that I tried that too. It
fills the parts when
smokeping is not running, but, does not fill in the parts
when it is and the
host is down (i.e. 100% Packet Loss). So, that look like
this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<tt>Sorry I misunderstood what you were looking for. In our
environment, we just wanted a way to differentiate between 100%
loss and smokeping being down, so we don't mind the white
background for 100% loss. You may have already tried this, but I
wonder if you could achieve what you are looking for by specifying
a loss color for 100%. Do you use the "loss_colors" options? We do
5 pings per interval, so in our case it would be something like
this:<br>
<br>
++ loss_colors<br>
<br>
... (other loss colors here)<br>
<br>
5 ff0000 "5/5"<br>
<br>
That should tell it to use red as the background for 100% loss,
but I haven't verified. Anyone else tried this?<br>
