yellow/red warnings based on conn time

Hello,

  Is there a way to specify warn/panic thresholds for the ping test? 
I'm monitoring several routers and would like to send notification to
the network admins if things start getting too slow.

Not yet.

A future improvement to Hobbit is to define such thresholds and have
them implemented on the Hobbit server. That would allow you to use
such thresholds on any kind af data reported into Hobbit - including
your client-side tests, without any modifications needed on the client
side. I have a pretty good idea about how to do this - essentially,
there will be a module that looks at each status message just after
hobbit receives it, but before it is passed on to log the new status;
this module can then look at the data using the same parsing methods
as the LARRD module, and change the color of the status based on what
thresholds are set.

But that is for a future version.


Regards,
Henrik

I was looking at badconn, but I'm not sure it's going to do what I
need.  My understanding is that you can specify different thresholds
for failure instead of the test going red immediately.

I'm wondering if there is a setting to warn based on the result of the
successful response time. eg: The ping response comes back, but it was
500ms which too  high for that are of the network.

Ah, then you want to run mrtg with ping-probe, and use bbmrtg.pl to
alert hobbit of the data collected.
