DHCP hands out addresses on request. These addresses have a lease lifetime and the device that requested the address will be required to renew prior to the expiration of the lease. There is no guarantee that the device will always receive the same IP address, although it is very likely. Further problems arise when devices with an allocated address leave the network - a cell phone on WiFi, for example, will travel away from the network and therefore the address is no longer active or may be reassigned to a different device. This will generate graphs with holes, spikes and all kinds of noisy information. Assuming you're going to continue down this path, you'll need to find the dhcpd.leases file on your DHCP server. In a Linux installation, the file is normally located at /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases. You'll then need to write a script to read this file, extract IP addresses, generate a set of Smokeping targets in your smokeping configuration file and finally reload Smokeping. You may also want to remove targets from leases that are no longer active, or not... Bandwidth measurement is not a strength of Smokeping. As mentioned by Paul Mansfield, you will want to use a different solution that can read SNMP information from your managed switch to retrieve the number of packets being sent and received.

Message-ID: the smokeping master host configuration is very fragile, and a mistake in one place doesn't always show up at the point of the error but can break the part below. the only solution is to comment out chunks of the config until the error goes away and then re-introduce things a line or two at a time. just to add to the misery, if a slave is running in debug mode I have found that it will lock up when the master's configuration changes.

No, I was doing a "while [ 1 ]" with a "ps | grep sipsak" in order to check the next sip call ;) The variable host looks good before the call of the funtion open because I tried to write the value of this variable and was able to see the : and @.. I will try what you suggested. I think Perl should be using the shell "sh". I will check tomorrow and run some tests again. That's odd ! FYI, i'm using Centos 6.1 if I remeber right. Cheers.

[Where the target is the same device.] Then you'd assign different alert levels for the two targets. But I don't think there's a way to have two different alerts on the same target for different slave(s)/master(s). So, to get multiple separate alerts for the same device, you'll have to have the same device as two different targets. [And that will generate the ping or other check traffic again for each unique alert group...and also store an additional RRD file etc.] I'd guess that using Nagios to generate the alerts would probably be better. [Though the alerting condidtions nuance with Nagios isn't as sophisticated as in SP.] I use Nagios, not because I want multiple levels of thresholds, but because I want different alerts at different times, and destinations etc. Nagios has much more sophisticated alert/notification handling than SP. Perhaps someone else will have other suggestions, but that's the only way I can see to do it. -Greg --- NT> Hi, NT> Does anybody have any suggestions?

I am trying to integrate smokeping into my Open monitoring Distribution deployment as an alternative to IPSLA. Currently we have a Master slave configuration of Smokeping for a bunch of sensors we manage which works very well! The next stage of my project is to find out if there is a way for my slave instances running smokeping to report ALERTS into their own local syslog. I know that the Master Smokeping server reports the ALERT into its own syslog facility; but I need the alerts triggered to be reported on the Slave probes syslog so I can use the check_mk log watch agent of OMD to tie the alert to individual smokeping sensors that I monitor using Check_mk.

I'm looking at borders, colors, etc. Initially I'd just like them to all look the same - the overview graphs have a border and are a different color than the "normal" generated graphs. Are there any configurable settings for this? TIA, Eric -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(and why doesn't it do it?) Message-ID: <51E93C45.2040409@thingy.com> Hi folks, I've just upgraded my 2.4.2 installation to 2.6.9, and noticed on the website this nice looking feature where loss is shown as a vertical line instead of just the single pixel on the median line. I'm tracking a small/infrequent loss problem at the moment, and this would be very useful. (I mean, like this: http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/reading_detail.png) My 2.4.2 didn't do this, and my 2.6.9 one doesn't either by default. It looks like I need: loss_background = yes in the "+ detail" section on the config file, but that doesn't seem to make any difference, so... 1) Is loss_background what produces those vertical lines? 2) Is there something else I need to do to enable them? (e.g. rrdtool version > n, I have 1.2.27 at the moment) Thanks in advance for any pointers...

Now I have my bars. Rubber duck debugging at work I guess!

Message-ID: <20130729193354.49e1965b@free.fr> Hello, I have started using recently smokeping to monitor latency It was easy to install on Debian, I like the graphs very much, I am looking forward to be able to produce such graphs. Also I wonder what the grey areas means ? Is it the quantiles ? What instructions are given to to RRD to have these grey zones ?

As for generation instructions, I have no idea how SmokePing writes the RRD files for such things.
