[smokeping-users] Highlighting packet loss?

[David Tomic]

LOL ... nevermind. I've finally got it figured out.

For anyone with the same problem who happens to run across this thread 
in the future, you need to set 'loss_background = yes' in the '+detail' 
section of your smokeping configuration file.

The documentation doesn't actually explain what enabling 
'loss_background' actually does, which is why it was probably so hard 
for me to find in the first place.

All it says is "loss_background - If this option is enabled, uptime data 
is no longer displayed in the graph background."
