ping

Example graph: day

Name

ping - Plugin to monitor ping times

Configuration

ping_args      - Arguments to ping (default "-c 2 -w 1")
ping_args2     - Arguments after the host name (required for Solaris)
ping           - Ping program to use
ping6          - Ping program to use with IPv6
hosts          - List of comma-separated hosts to ping (IPv4/6 address or FQDN)
                 You can prepend host name with:
                 'A:'    - to resolve all IPv4 addresses
                           and create an entry per address (requires 'host' program)
                 'AAAA:' - the same for IPv6 (requires 'host' program)
                 '6:'    - do not try to resolve, but use ping6 for this host
names          - Friendly display name of each host given in the "hosts" parameter (comma-separated list).
                 If not set, "hosts" elements will be used
fork           - If set to non-zero, fork each ping into parallel process to ping asynchronously

Configuration example

[ping*]
env.hosts mail.example.org,6:www.example.org,AAAA:search.example.org
env.names Mail,Web,Search
env.fork yes

Configuration example for Solaris

[ping*]
env.host www.example.org mail.example.org
env.ping_args -s
env.ping_args2 56 2

You can also append ‘_packetloss’ to the plugin filename for packet loss statistics.
