-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
see http://collectd.org/faq.shtml I try to use the ping-plugin, but keep getting the message "`ping_host_add' failed.". What's the matter? In order to generate ICMP packets one needs to open a so called "RAW socket". On most UNIX systems only the superuser (root) may open such sockets. In addition, some virtualization environments, such as VServer and Solaris Zones have been reported to cause some trouble.
