[smokeping-users] Smokeping not graphing tcpping data

Thanks Greg. I switched over to EchoPingHttps. In my scenario I am simply
looking to confirm that port 443 is open. There is no actual page to load
at the address though. Is there a way to ignore the 404 response and still
measure that response time to the port?

Smokeping version 2.003006 successfully launched.

Not entering multiprocess mode with '--debug'. Use '--debug-daemon' for
that.

EchoPingHttps: probing 2 targets with step 300 s and offset 210 s.

FPing: probing 0 targets with step 300 s and offset 210 s.

TCPPing: probing 0 targets with step 300 s and offset 210 s.

EchoPingHttps: forks 5, timeout for each target 101
