Got a problem...

Advanced ping draws me a 100%LOSS red area...

when run from command line like:
php /opt/apache/htdocs/cacti/scripts/ss_fping.php 10.0.0.1 20 ICMP
i'm getting results like:
min:3.0200 avg:7.1660 max:18.1600 dev:3.8572 loss:0.0000
looks good...

but when run under the scripts_server, I'm getting just this line:
loss:100.00

WTF?

If you are running UNIX, the script_server has to have rights to create a RAW socket (aka root or asroot). Otherwise use something like "TCP 80" or something similar. Windows does not care.

Hmm, I'm kinda worried about your statement. As I'm polling one of those with exactly this script using TCP 80 without any problems (how the hell would google.com answer to http requests if it does not SYN to TCP 80?).
May you please check the function against some local hosts of your own? To get results quick, please run the script from command line providing hostname, number of requests, protocol (ICMP, TCP, UDP) and port.

Hello,

it's possible to add IPv6 support to ss_fping.php?

It would be nice.

Thanks

Use the Script Server debug statement to determine what is going on:

1) login as the cactid demon user account:

2) cd to the cacti web root

3) run: "php <path_cacti>/script_server.php"

NOTE: you should not get any errors or warnings

4) enter one of your ss_fping commands from the poller_cache

5) post anything out of the ordinary

BTB, my testing was ICMP'ing and TCP 80 pinging www.google.com no problem.

JaMa,

I will check into IPv6 for you. This will be somewhat dependent on PHP.

Off hand, it does not look too difficult to add an IPv6 to ss_fping.php. However, I have a question. Is your cacti installation today working properly with IPv6? I have not implemented it in Cactid, so I was just wondering.

Can this plugin be use for masuring a specific network service's latency?
I know I can specific the port number when creating a graph, but maybe this Plugin is not smart enough to construct such specific packet.
for example, the LDAP request should including this info within the packet.
Code:

host = my.host
attrs = uid,someotherattr
base = dc=foo,dc=bar
binddn = uid=testuser,dc=foo,dc=bar
filter = uid=testuser # mandatory
mininterval = 1
password = mypass
pings = 5
port = 389
start_tls = 1
timeout = 10
version = 3
copied from http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/smokeping/probe/LDAP.en.html

Maybe, my request is far from this plugin's original purose, forgive me.

I know where you are going. This is not too difficult, but I have other priorities.

You may create it on your own, e.g. using shell/perl/php or the like. Run the probing command against the server and print the time difference. There has been a Template for OpenLDAP in the forum, search/google for that. More examples are available at the original smokeping site at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/smokeping/. When it comes to coloring and statistics it would be best to read the code of "Advanced Ping" itself.

Importing the graph template gives me this error. Error: XML: Hash version does not exist. Are there any other modules required for successful import of this one?

What is your cacti version. You need to be on 0.8.6g.
