[smokeping-users] TCPping Probe not alerting

[Chris Charalambides]

Hi

I have been using smokeping fine for the last few years using the fping probe and had no issues at all.
Now I'm using the TCPping Probe I'm having trouble getting SmokePing to alert when hosts are un-reachable or high packet loss.
Below is some of my config and replaced sensitive information with x's.

Example from Alerts file.

*** Alerts ***
to = xxxxx at xxxxx.com,
from = xxxxx at xxxxx.com

+bigloss
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = >0%,>0%,>0%,>0%,>0%
comment = !!!!!!URGENT!!!!!!

+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 messed up again ?


Example from Target file.

+ xxx-xx
menu = xxx-xx
title = xxxxxx.xxxxx

++ xx- xx-1
menu = xxx-xx-x
probe = TCPPing
alerts = bigloss
title = TCP-Over-443-To-x.x.x.x
host = x.x.x.x
pings = 5
port = 443
:


Please can someone help or guide me in what I am doing wrong, the aim is to get the alert to trigger when un-reachable or very high loss is seen.

Kind Regards
Chris
