Concerning fping options, I have some RRD graphs that show enormous pings to
some of our customer's (upwards of 800ms) because as the radio doesn't pass
any traffic it sits there and when someone first looks for it, it acts kind
of dumb.
What delegates how often the FPING command is issued? I'm not looking for
the arguments for fping itself, but rather how hobbitd kicks fping into
gear.
I would like to increase the rate of the pings and see if that helps. I'm
running a continuous ping over night to see if that changes the graph or if
it really does spike to that outrageous height.

I'm just wondering what triggers in the Hobbit code is used
to make a RED ping status :
- after just one no echo-reply each 5min ?
- after a couple of no echo-reply ? How much ?
- What is the timeout used to declare the host unreachable ?
It goes red when the ping utility that is used (fping or hobbitping)
says that the host did not respond. How many pings are sent
and what the
timeouts are is decided by the ping tool; see their man-pages for
details. You can tune this through commandline options for the ping
tool, these go into the FPINGCMD setting in hobbitserver.cfg

Got it, options must be put in the hobbitserver.cfg. Thanks for the info!
