<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi guys,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We had an issue when installing tcpping that it simply didn‘t work. After debugging we found that the configuration example included here
<a href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/probe/TCPPing.en.html">http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/probe/TCPPing.en.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This „tcptraceroute = -e "sudo /bin/tcptraceroute"“ is likely supposed to point to the tcptraceroute executable but the scripts for tcpping that we found aren‘t accepting this variable.. also the TCPPing.pm detects
that variable and adds another –e infront.. so.. all we got was garble.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This is painful to debug and i saw multiple users having similar issues posting and few with any solutions.. here is what we did.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="color:black">Simply place tcpping and tcptraceroute in the same folder (we used /usr/bin/) and empty the „tcptraceroute =“ variable in smokeping config.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="color:black">Nota bene, this still gives some weird „TCPPing: Received: GLOB(0x36ac050)“ output in debug but the graphs are updating and it seems to work fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
