If its on a fiber Ethernet system I would buy some older accedian
metronids and put on either end. You can easily find them on ebay for
~$100 you can set up oam reporting on them. It will give you much more
detail than a ping as you can set it up to set so many packets every x
ms and it will track it and in what direction the error was. They are
also great for running RFC2544 throughput tests.
other than that I would recommend vaping its a alternative to smokeping

Lately they have been having big problems on their fiber system.
What is the best cheap and dirty program to just continually ping
something and make a graph? I attempted to do a trial of whatsup gold
but it had a freaking huge SQL install that came along with it and I
know they are going to want some money.
I could write something simple to log up and down times but I am sure
someone has already done it. Really simple, ping something like
Google DNS every 30 seconds. If it is down, record the time. When it
comes back record the time.
