[smokeping-users] Is it possible to get an alerts status page in Smokeping?

[Gregory Sloop]

One word.
Nagios.

There a smokeping plug-in, and it will allow you to set conditions for warning and critical states in Nagios. They're not as elaborate as SP's conditions, but I have yet to see a real-life setup where something more than a simple ">X% loss is a 'warning' event and >Y% is a 'critical' event" is really useful anyway.

I have Nagios do ALL my notifications. [Though I do have a MTR that gets run and sent from Smokeping on some events - but I don't consider that "notification" - I just use it for additional leverage against the problem provider/ISP/host.]

And Nagios has more useful querying tools than SP.
Essentially I use SP as a "quality" tool. [What's going on with a connection, quality wise.]
Nagios is my "quantitative" tool. [Is the connection up or down, and what's its history.]

IMO, using a qualitative tool to do quantitative duty is usually pretty painful.
