Monitor remote server pinging

[MadX]

is there any chance that i can graph the results of a remote server pinging a spacific target like googl.com, not monitoring the Cacti pc pinging a target.

is it possible

1) wrong forum, moving

2) There are many ping scripts on the forum, have you searched yet? 'advanced ping template' would be among the most popular.

You may do so e.g. by using a cgi script on the remote host. Cacti will then call the cgi via wget and the cgi does the pinging.
It's awful, but should work

1. Prereqs
You will need a web server on the host that shall perform the pinging.

2. Create the ping script
Login to that host and create a ping script in the web-servers cgi directory. Write the script in a way that parameters may be provided via standard cgi parm call.

3. Create the cacti script
See 1st link of my sig to learn how to do so (generally speaking). But your cacti script will have to call wget, use some HTTP library (perl, php or the like) or e.g. curl to call the ping script on the remote host
