What is mrtg-ping-probe FOR LINUX?

MRTG Ping Probe for Linux

mrtg-ping-probe project monitors round trip time and packet loss to another host. It is a ping probe for MRTG 2.x, used to monitor the round trip time and packet loss to networked devices. MRTG uses its output to generate graphs visualizing minimum and maximum round trip times or packet loss.

Technical Specifications:

• Software Requirements: Perl (at least version 5.6.1), MRTG (version 2.8.8 or any MRTG 2.x version), and a ping program displaying a summary of the round trip times.


• Compatible Systems: AIX, BSD/OS 2.1, FreeBSD/2.2.x, IRIX/6.2, Linux, Mac OS X (Darwin 5.4), NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2, OSF1 V3.2, Solaris, HP-UX, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 (various locales).


• Additional Support: Easily add support for more systems as described in the INSTALL file.

Usage:

mrtg-ping-probe [-hsvV] [-d deadtime] [-k count] [-l length] [-o ping_options] [-p [factor*]{min|max|avg|loss|integer}/{factor*]{min|max|avg|loss|integer}] [-r [rsh:][user@]host[:osname]] [-t timeout] host

What's New in This Release:

• New platforms supported: Italian Windows 2000 locale.


• Bugfixes: Return deadtime accurately when all packets are lost on Windows. Ping child process termination fixed on Unix platforms.


• Changes: Raised minimum required Perl version to 5.6.1, typo fixes.

Act responsibly: Do not use mrtg-ping-probe to ping devices without permission. Use it within your network to monitor round trip time performance.
