<sorry for the top post... owa arrrg > Thanks again, Jeff.
I am doing 5 pings every 10 seconds with a 1 second timeout. I put in this into Presentation: ++loss_colors 0 339900 '0' 1 33ccff '1/5' 2 0033ff '2/5' 3 ccff00 '3/5' 4 ff6600 '4/5' 5 ff0000 '5/5' But, my loss stats still only showed 0, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5. It ignored the 5/5, like there is a bound on the packet loss calculation and presentation. david ________________________________ From: Jeff Williams [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 6:47 PM To: David Botham Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [smokeping-users] Fill Background While Host Is Down <sorry for the html email, but, I needed inline graphic> All, Does anyone know of a way to fill the background of the graph when a host is down (fping)? I have set: loss_background = yes But, my graph looks like this (the left leading white space is before I started collecting): [cid:[email protected]] And what I want is this: [cid:[email protected]] So that the downtime really stands out... David, Try using the "nodata_color" parameter with the code for the color you want. I think I needed to add that to get the behavior you are looking for. For example, I use this: nodata_color = f88017 loss_background = yes dbotham replied with: Jeff, thanks. forgot to mention that I tried that too. It fills the parts when smokeping is not running, but, does not fill in the parts when it is and the host is down (i.e. 100% Packet Loss). So, that look like this: [cid:[email protected]] Sorry I misunderstood what you were looking for. In our environment, we just wanted a way to differentiate between 100% loss and smokeping being down, so we don't mind the white background for 100% loss. You may have already tried this, but I wonder if you could achieve what you are looking for by specifying a loss color for 100%. Do you use the "loss_colors" options? We do 5 pings per interval, so in our case it would be something like this: ++ loss_colors ... (other loss colors here) 5 ff0000 "5/5" That should tell it to use red as the background for 100% loss, but I haven't verified. Anyone else tried this?
