Hi, At times, latency rises on my network. I'm trying to give check_fping a high timeout, 10 seconds to warn and 12 for critical. It seems that check_fping returns too quickly, however. Here, I've cranked up the warn and critical levels to an absurd level for illustration purposes, and timed the process.
# /usr/bin/time ./check_fping -H roxsw001 -w 1000000.0,80% -c 12000000.0,100% -b 56 FPING CRITICAL - roxsw001 (loss=100% )|loss=100%;80;100;0;100 0.51 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys The check returns in half a second. Obviously, my timeout isn't working. Any thoughts on why this is, or what I can do? Surely someone else is checking hosts on an intermittently slow network? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
