Hello.. first-time smokeping user here, running Smokeping 2.3.6-1 and curl 7.18.2-1ubuntu4.4 from Ubuntu.
I have smokeping working fine for ICMP and DNS checks, and am trying to get some HTTP checks to work as well. I have a Curl probe configured, and it seems to be working, except when the web-site-to-be-monitored is down; the graph shows empty during that time, and there is no "loss" shown on the graph (graph example at http://www.fint.org/tmp/125797156413277_1257971564_1257969600.png ), and so, no loss alert was sent out. My relevent config sections: *** Probes *** + Curl binary = /usr/bin/curl step = 60 pings = 5 urlformat = http://%host%/ ++ HTTP probe = Curl menu = HTTP latency +++ wh-mon01 alerts = someloss host = wh-mon01 urlformat = http://%host%/ When the site-to-be-tested had its web service stopped, a manual curl test was showing: $ curl http://wh-mon01 curl: (7) couldn't connect to host Is the Curl probe what I should be using for this? I'm not as interested in HTTP latency as I am in alerting if/when the web server is down. -- deny ip any any (4393649193 matches) _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
