[smokeping-users] RemoteFPing Config

[James Baldwin]

I'm having trouble configuring smokeping to utilize RemoteFPing from 
multiple source addresses. I'm fairly certain this is just my 
misunderstanding how the config file is parsed rather than any inherent 
problems with the tools.

The environment I'm setting this up in is a multihomed wide area 
network. I am wishing to setup smokeping on a central monitoring host 
and have it measure latency between each gateway and our uplink, as 
well as measure latency between our vpn endpoints.

I am attempting to configure smokeping to measure from 10.0.0.1 to 
5.5.5.5 and to measure from 10.0.1.1 to 6.6.6.6.

However, my config is yielding interesting results. smokeping --debug 
shows me that the RemoteFPing is using the line

RemoteFPing: query=/usr/bin/ssh -1 -l monitor 10.0.1.1 
/usr/local/sbin/fping -b1024 -C 20 -q -B1 -i10 -r1 5.5.5.5 6.6.6.6

This appears to be incorrect as I was expecting something more similar 
to

ssh -1 -l monitor 10.0.0.1 /usr/local/sbin/fping -b1024 -C 20 -q -B1 
-i10 -r1 5.5.5.5

and

ssh -1 -l monitor 10.0.1.1 /usr/local/sbin/fping -b1024 -C 20 -q -B1 
-i10 -r1 6.6.6.6

Any help?

The targets section of my config reads:

probe = RemoteFPing
menu = Overview
title = Network Overview

+Probe_CONF
ruser = monitor
rbinary = /usr/local/sbin/fping

+global
menu = Global
title = Global Network

++local
menu = Local
title = Local Network

+++PROBE_CONF
rhost = 10.0.0.1

+++local-gwy
menu = local uplink
title = Local gateway to uplink
host = 5.5.5.5

++remote
menu = Remote
title = Remote Network

+++PROBE_CONF
rhost = 10.0.1.1

+++remote-gwy
menu = remote uplink
title = remote gateway to uplink
host = 6.6.6.6
