Hi All,

New to Smokeping and having a small problem with plotting IPv6 data.

I'm using mostly default config except a minor deviation in that I've added 
FPing and FPing6 probe blocks as follows:

+ FPing6

binary = /usr/bin/fping
packetsize = 440
blazemode = true
protocol = 6
hostinterval = 1.5
mininterval = 0.001
offset = 50%
pings = 20
usestdout = true
timeout = 1.5
step = 300

+ FPing

binary = /usr/bin/fping
packetsize = 440
blazemode = true
protocol = 4
hostinterval = 1.5
mininterval = 0.001
offset = 50%
pings = 20
usestdout = true
timeout = 1.5
step = 300

Plus a host for Facebook.com to use each probe:

*** Targets ***
...
+ targets
...
++ Facebook

menu = Facebook
title = Facebook.com
host = facebook.com

...
+ other
...
++ Facebook_v6

probe = FPing6
menu = Facebook (v6)
title = Facebok.com (v6 Ping)
host = facebook.com

(ellipses intentional)

But notice I am not pointing at FPing6 binary contrary to the documentation 
since FPing6 doesn't exist in the repositories for my Linux distribution and 
according to the project's GitHub the developer unified the branches into base 
`fping` back in 2015: https://github.com/schweikert/fping/issues/80

So it's fping for both IPv4 and 6, at least for my distribution (is 
Debian/Ubuntu still making fping6 available?...)

Anyway, the issue is no data is being plotted with the FPing6 probe. IPv6 is 
enabled in my kernel and the wired interface has an IPv6 address. I can also 
use `fping -6 -C 10 -A facebook.com` successfully.

Please let me know how to get up and running.

Regards,
Ben.
