<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">TCPPing generally requires root.<br>
Thus, when you run at the CLI, [presumably as root] it works.<br>
When you run it as smokeping it doesn't.<br>
<br>
Google "setuid" for general direction as how to solve it.<br>
I think something like [chmod u+s /location/of/some/tcpping-binary] will set the UID bit properly. <br>

hi Igor,<br>
<br>
thanks for the tip --> I re-installed tcptraceroute and now<br>
1) from smokeping --debug , I can see proper data collected and smokeping seems to graph the value as expected (good)<br>
2) however, when I run smokeping as a daemon, it doesn't seem to graph (bad) <br>
<br>
the newer tcptraceroute was installed into /usr/local/bin, and I tried sym-link to /usr/sbin/tcptraceroute<br>
tcpping is still there as /usr/sbin/tcpping<br>
<br>
I'm not sure it's a tcpping issue at this point, but I checked the imagecache and datadir , perfmissions seem to be ok.<br>
as a test (new target anyhow) I deleted the rrd and imagecache folder for this target, but new graph still doesn't show anything.<br>
I can see timestamp update on the rrd file but nothing gets generated in the graph.<br>
<br>
any ideas? it could be something really simple that I missed, but I'm drawing blanks =(<br>

Hi Christian, <br>
<br>
It has something to do with the tcptraceroute package, I had the same issue. I remember what I did was re-installed tcptraceroute package and it worked. <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
Igor<br>

Hi Igor, <br>
<br>
Both tcptraceroute and tcpping are in the same folder. I notice issue seems to be related to the script being called with -c option? If I run the command manually with this flag, it doesnt return the values.. not sure where I'd fix this, anyone? <br>

Hi Christian,<br>
<br>
I had similar issue, make sure you have installed packed called tcptraceroute/traceroute(that’s solved my issue) on the box that you are running smokeping instance from. I am 100% sure that’s the issue. <br>
Ubuntu: <span style=" font-family:'consolas'; color: #333333;">sudo apt-get install tcptraceroute<br>
<br>
<span style=" font-family:'courier new'; color: #000000;">Also, have you tried running smokeping in debug mode? It could shed some light.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Igor<br>

<span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;">(Sorry if it's been asked, but google search didn't clearly explain how to resolve this =()<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm trying to implement a probe using TCPPing <br>
I have the script working along with tcptraceroute (i.e. works via CLI fine)<br>
<br>
however, smokeping isn't generating any data against the target host,<br>
and from debug allI see is the following:<br>
<br>
TCPPing: forks 5, timeout for each target 301<br>
TCPPing: Executing /usr/sbin/tcpping -C -x 20 </span></span><a style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;" href="http://host.somewhere.com">host.somewhere.com</a><span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;"> 443<br>

TCPPing: </span><a style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;" href="http://host.somewhere.com">host.somewhere.com</a><span style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;">: got <br>
(Nothing else afterwards related to TCPPing, just FPING targets and related results)<br>
<br>
I tried to search on " TCPPing: Received: GLOB(0x2e388e8)"<br>
which got me this: </span><a style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;" href="https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/60">https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/60</a><br>
