[smokeping-users] ping times

[Shane Kindt]

Hello,
I recently got Smokeping setup with FPing.  All seems to be going well except the ping times being graphed.  According to smokeping, I am pinging google.com from 6 - 8 ms.  This would be awesome but I know it isn't true.  If I execute   "  fping www.google.com -l   " at the shell prompt, I receive 60 - 80 ms pings.    To me, this seems like a scale issue.  the ping times I am receiving and the ping times that are being displayed are 10x off...  I have removed my data and img directories in the apache directory.  Smokeping re-created them like it should, same results.  I killed all smokeping, fping, and speedy processes and restarted.  same results.  I am running smokeping 2.0.5 with fping 2.2b1.  Here is a copy of my config file in smokeping:


*** General ***

owner    = Administrator
contact  = user at domain.com
mailhost = mail.domain.com
sendmail = /usr/lib/sendmail
imgcache = /var/www/html/smokeping/img/
imgurl   = /smokeping/img/
datadir  = /var/www/html/smokeping/datadir
piddir  = /var/run
cgiurl   = http://server_IP/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi
smokemail = /etc/smokeping/smokemail
#tmail = /home/oetiker/data/projects/AADJ-smokeping/dist/etc/tmail.dist
# specify this to get syslog logging
syslogfacility = local0
# each probe is now run in its own process
# disable this to revert to the old behaviour
# concurrentprobes = no

*** Alerts ***
to = our email addresses
from = smokealert at domain.com

+bigloss
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = ==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,>0%,>0%,>0%
comment = suddenly there is packet loss

+someloss
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%
comment = loss 3 times  in a row

+startloss
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = ==S,>0%,>0%,>0%
comment = loss at startup

+rttdetect
type = rtt
# in milli seconds
pattern = <10,<10,<10,<10,<10,<100,>100,>100,>100
comment = routing mesed up again ?

*** Database ***

step     = 180
pings    = 10

# consfn mrhb steps total

AVERAGE  0.5   1  1008
AVERAGE  0.5  12  4320
    MIN  0.5  12  4320
    MAX  0.5  12  4320
AVERAGE  0.5 144   720
    MAX  0.5 144   720
    MIN  0.5 144   720

*** Presentation ***

template = /etc/smokeping/basepage.html

+ overview

width = 600
height = 50
range = 10h

+ detail

width = 600
height = 200
unison_tolerance = 2

"Last 3 Hours"    3h
"Last 30 Hours"   30h
"Last 10 Days"    10d
"Last 400 Days"   400d

*** Probes ***

+ FPing

binary = /usr/local/sbin/fping


*** Targets ***
******************************************

Just wondering if there is something wrong with my config, or if there is a switch i can send to fping?  I dont know where to go on this one.

Thanks in advance.

Shane
