XYMON Connection test
list Mv652
Hi, I am just getting started with the Xymon 4.2.3, and am very pleased with that the trending and graphing I've been looking for comes pre-built ready and working immediately after install. I have a couple questions that I wouldn't mind to be answered though... In the "conn" section of each host, the Y-Axis is in seconds, however the results seem odd as they are showing in milliseconds rather than microseconds. testing from the command line, the results are all under 500us. I opted to use hobbitping, but can move to fping if that may be the problem. Thanks, Mario

I just started using fping about a month ago and it is much better than hobbitping at reporting accurate RTT. -Jason On Mar 16, 2009, at 12:28 PM, user-2e62ad6fd761@xymon.invalid wrote:

Thanks, Is there a procedure I should follow to move to fping away from hobbitping? Thanks,

See the man page for hobbitserver.cfg. The FPING environment variable specifies which program to use for ping. It defaults to hobbitping. Change that and restart the server. Ralph Mitchell
