[mrtg] Error with Ping-Probe

[Steve Shipway]

Try running your external script from the commandline:

 

/etc/pingprobe/mrtg-ping-probe 10.10.1.2 -c 5

 

Probably, it is returning an error for some reason.  Also, run it as the
user that MRTG runs as - some systems will not let a non-root user run ping.

 

This is how we call mrtg-ping-probe (replace %SHNAME% and %IPADDR%
appropriately):

 

Target[%SHNAME%-ping]: `/u01/mrtg/bin/mrtg-ping-probe -p '1000*max/1000*min'
-s %IPADDR%` / 1000000
