[smokeping-users] Pointers at code

[Alessandro Palermo]

Hola.
Hace un tiempo atrás tuve la necesidad de sacar reportes de algunas
métricas desde smokeping. Ya había algo hecho en algunos foros, pero nada
encajaba con lo que quería.
Te paso las funciones que utilice para obtener el average del rtt y packet
loss por ejemplo, no encontre de donde saque esta información y la verdad
fue hace bastante tiempo.

rrdtool graph x -s -$TIEMPO -e now DEF:v=$FILE_RRD:median:AVERAGE
VDEF:vm=v,AVERAGE PRINT:vm:%lf | tail -n 1

Eso te da el rtt, multiplicalo por 1000 para tenerlo en milisegundos.

rrdtool graph x -s -$TIEMPO -e now DEF:v=$FILE_RRD:loss:AVERAGE
VDEF:vm=v,AVERAGE PRINT:vm:%lf | tail -n 1

Eso te da el packet loss.

La variable TIEMPO va en el formato 1h, 2h, 1d, etc y FILE_RRD es el
fichero rrd usualmente /var/lib/smokeping/.....

Espero te sirva de algo.

Saludos
