Description
-
This plugin checks for roundtrip times and packet loss conditions using
your OS ping command. You can set alarms based on roundtrip times and
percent of packets lost during the test.
-
Parameters
-
The parameter line should be in the format:
hostname!ttl_yellow!ttl_red!loss_yellow!loss_red
Where:
-
ttl_yellow
ttl_red
These parameters control the yellow and red thresholds based on the roundtrip
times. TTLs above ttl_yellow (but below ttl_red) result in an yellow alert.
TTLs above ttl_red will always result in a red_alert.
-
loss_yellow
loss_red
Warn yellow if the loss of packets is >= loss_yellow%. Warn red if the loss
of packets if >= loss_red%.
-
Examples
-
haha.hehe.com!100!200!5!15
Warns yellow if the roundtrip time to haha.hehe.com exceeds 100ms (I'm assuming here
your PING command uses milisseconds, as most do). Warns red if it exceeds 200ms.
Also, We'll get an yellow alert if more than 4% of our packets gets lots during the connection,
and a red alert if more than 14% gets lost.
