conn/ping latency warning 🔗 link

How do I enable warnings/alerts based on the conn/ping "latency" for a device? I know it will allow you to set warnings based on the amount of fails but not the latency itself -- do I need a custom script/command for this? EG. Go yellow on 500ms+ ping red on 1000ms+ ping?

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc,

to my knowledge this cannot be done with (vanilla) xymon but a tool
designed
exactly for this is smokeping
       http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/
smokeping collects latency-data (for ping and many other protocols) in RRD
graphs an can send warning e-mails on certain criteria.

I seem to remember an extension on deadcat that allows the integration on
smokeping (in big-brother and probably hobbit/xymon as well) but never
tested
it myself.
The upcomping feature of xymon to generate status-messages from arbitrary
rrd-files may ease the integration.

For generating the smokeping-configuration from a bb-hosts file I have
created
an quick-and-dirty script I could share.

HTH,

       Thomas
