s, DHCP<br />allocated addresses add some behaviors that are somewhat incompatible with<br />long-term measurements. DHCP hands out addresses on request. These<br />addresses have a lease lifetime and the device that requested the address<br />will be required to renew prior to the expiration of the lease. There is no<br />guarantee that the device will always receive the same IP address, although<br />it is very likely. Further problems arise when devices with an allocated<br />address leave the network - a cell phone on WiFi, for example, will travel<br />away from the network and therefore the address is no longer active or may<br />be reassigned to a different device. This will generate graphs with holes,<br />spikes and all kinds of noisy information.<br /><br />Assuming you're going to continue down this path, you'll need to find the<br />dhcpd.leases file on your DHCP server. In a Linux installation, the file is<br />normally located at /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases. Yo
u'll then need to write<br />a script to read this file, extract IP addresses, generate a set of<br />Smokeping targets in your smokeping configuration file and finally reload<br />Smokeping. You may also want to remove targets from leases that are no<br />longer active, or not...<br /><br />Bandwidth measurement is not a strength of Smokeping. As mentioned by Paul<br />Mansfield, you will want to use a different solution that can read SNMP<br />information from your managed switch to retrieve the number of packets<br />being sent and received.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Dan<br />-------------- next part --------------<br />An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br />URL: http://lists.oetiker.ch/pipermail/smokeping-users/attachments/20130701/e613ae9b/attachment-0001.htm <br /><br />------------------------------<br /><br />Message: 3<br />Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 09:21:41 -0700<br />From: Indian Maiden <theindianmaiden@gmail.com><br />Subject: [smokeping-users] RedHat instal
