[smokeping-users] ping from multiple interfaces

[Kwame Bahena]

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your reply, but creating a second probe for FPing it's not working.

I created a second probe like this:

+ FPingFE

binary = /usr/sbin/fping
soureceaddress = the.source.ip.of.this.probe
hostinterval = 1.5
mininterval = 0.001
offset = 50%
packetsize = 5000
pings = 20
step = 300
timeout = 1.5

and in the target I specified it to use this probe:

++ target_host
probe = FPingFE
menu = target_host
title = target_host
host = fqdn.of.the.target.host

But when I attempt to restart smokeping I see this error:

./smokeping --config=/opt/smokeping/etc/config --debug-daemon
require Smokeping::probes::FPingFE failed: Can't locate
Smokeping/probes/FPingFE.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ..
/opt/smokeping/lib

.) at (eval 23) line 3, <File> line 117.

Which leads me to believe that the probe name + FPing is not a
variable so this cannot be modified
I read the documentation on
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/probe/FPing.en.html but don't see
anything about creating a second FPing probe with a different name.

Any other suggestions?

Best regards,
