Hi, I use smokeping to monitor the network connectivity of all computers in our LAN (I have autogenerated smokeping configuration file). Recently there has been some unexplained packet losses that last only a few minutes so I have tried to figure out the cause of the problem by looking at smokeping's rrd.
It seems that smokeping invokes fping so that fping will try to do a DNS query even if I specify IP addresses in /etc/smokeping/config. If our DNS server is on the other side of the network problem fping won't be able to do DNS query and smokeping results won't be accurate, right? It seems to me that a simple workaround is to add the "-A" flag to smokeping/probes/FPing.pm -- any idea how this should be implemented in a more general way? (Ideally every target could specify whether DNS should be used or not) best regards, Timo Lindfors _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
