[smokeping-users] Wishes for development

Hello,
I have been considering two extensions to SmokePing that could be
usefull.
1) Having alias targets.
It could be usefull that the same target can be listed several
times in the target menu, under different names, but with probing
only once, and of course keeping only one rrd database.
This could allow to define a target being listed in "my direct
connection to Internet", "list of ISP of my country" (under a
geographical hierachy), "list of R&D networks"...
Each alias could present a different title and name in the menu of
course.
2) Having an alert reporting mechanism.
Yesterday, with a quick glange at a SmokePing graph I noticed that
something went wrong because at some point the lattency had doubled
for a link. It was not one of my direct link, but I informed the
responsible people, there was a route that got lost somewhere and
nobody had noticed it.
So let say when the average for 5 minutes is x% higher than the
average of the past 3 hours, raise an alarm and send an alert.
I think the alert through syslog is enough, no need to implement a
complicated mechanism, they already exists that read from syslog
and ring a phone, send SMS or whatever, this would be out of the
scope of SmokePing.
Of course the alert would be optional, and not for the aliased
targets.
Why is this part of SmokePing? Basically because it reads the rrd
database generated by SmokePing.
Best regards,
Olivier
