SmokePing

SmokePing is a sophisticated network monitoring tool that measures, stores, and visually represents network latency, latency distribution, and packet loss. It leverages RRDtool for long-term data storage and creates detailed graphs providing real-time insights into network connection health. SmokePing offers advanced features such as interactive graph zooming, multi-target graphs, and a master/slave architecture for distributed monitoring. The system is highly extensible, with support for custom probes, alarms, and charting functions, all written in Perl for ease of modification and enhancement. Comprehensive documentation and a demo are available to assist users. ## Bénéfices - SmokePing offers several key benefits, including real-time visibility into network latency and packet loss - improved network troubleshooting capabilities due to detailed latency analysis - proactive identification of network issues through configurable alarms - enhanced scalability through a master/slave architecture - simplified monitoring of multiple targets simultaneously - and the ability to customize probes and alerting mechanisms for specific network requirements. Its user-friendly interface, coupled with its powerful features, makes it suitable for various monitoring needs.
