[smokeping-users] Curl not reporting data

[Nick Maio]

Hi,
I have recently installed Smokeping and I am trying to get the curl probe to
work.  I have been running the daemon in debug mode to troubleshoot the curl
issue I am having.  It appears that the curl probe is not getting the data
that it needs and is recording 100% packet loss.

Sep 12 12:22:07 XNETOPS01 smokeping[32379]: Curl: forks 5, timeout for each
target 51
Sep 12 12:22:07 XNETOPS01 smokeping[341]: Curl: executing command list

The problem is if I run the following command data gets returned as you
would expect.

[root at XNETOPS01 etc]# /usr/bin/curl -m 10 -o /dev/null -w "Time:
%{time_total} DNS time: %{time_namelookup} Redirect time:
%{time_redirect}\n" www.google.com

I changed a few of the delimiting characters to be able to run it at the
command line but nothing that I can see that you change the output.  Has
anyone else had a similar problem with the curl probe and if so how did you
fix it?

Here are the versions and a config snippet

curl-devel-7.15.5-2.el5
curl-7.15.5-2.el5
smokeping-2.2.3
perl-5.8.8

*** Probes ***

+ FPing
binary = /usr/local/sbin/fping

+ Curl
# probe-specific variables
binary = /usr/bin/curl
pings = 5
step = 60

# a default for this target-specific variable
urlformat = http://%host/


+ Curl
menu = Curl
title = Curl Probe

++ Google
menu = Google.com
title = Google.com
probe = Curl
host = www.google.com

Thanks for any help.
Nick
