[mrtg] Re: Packet Loss

[Anthony Valuikas]

So what does the -t switch do? Is it timeout?

i.e. in the sample mrtg cfg it has for NT
mrtg-ping-probe -t 42 -p loss/loss

I have look and can find anything about it? The reason I ask is that I can
place about 20 or so items in my config and everything works but when I get
50 or so ---nothing--- No errors, no nota. So can you explain the -t 42 -p
loss/loss a little more and just how this can be edited if at all?


Thanks
Tv

take a look at http://pwo.de/projects/mrtg/

some examples run on my WIndows 2000 system:


# round trip time:

H:\exp\mrtg\mrtg-ping-probe>perl mrtg-ping-probe rubycon
120
80


# packet loss to an existing system (no packet loss)

H:\exp\mrtg\mrtg-ping-probe>perl mrtg-ping-probe -p loss/loss rubycon
0
0


# packet loss to an unknown system (100% packet loss)
H:\exp\mrtg\mrtg-ping-probe>perl mrtg-ping-probe -p loss/loss rubycon2
mrtg-ping-probe: ERROR: Could not find ping summary for rubycon2
mrtg-ping-probe: INFO: The output of the ping command ping -l 56 -n 10
rubycon2
was:
Unknown host rubycon2.

100
100


# packet loss to an unknown system (100% packet loss), silent mode:
H:\exp\mrtg\mrtg-ping-probe>perl mrtg-ping-probe -s -p loss/loss rubycon2
100
100

Hope this helps
