Depending on your requirements and scale - but I read you want history - it's probably less a demand on CPU or network resources, but more on IOPS. If you cache all results before writing to disk, then it's not much of a problem, but by just going "let's use RRD/MRTG for this" your IOPS could

Hi, The link is not the only component to fail - routers and routing protocols all contribute at least as much. If your customers would have redundant connections, you also would like to look at convergence times. So a measurement end to end by a probe in the customers network could give you a

YMMV... but most of the CPE routers I've seen lately have icmp turned off by default, so you'll be messing with settings in the customer router. Do you provide the router? Also agree with Baldur, 2 minutes... is more than likely the customer router rebooting itself or something like that. If

Hi Customers do not usually complain about 2 minutes of downtime unless it is a repeating event. We will therefore offer such customers to put their line on monitor mode, which means we will add them to smokeping. You could also start the ping once a second thing, which would be no problem if it

I have a Nagios installation running on a PIII with maybe 512 MB of RAM. I ping a couple hundred devices 5 times per minute and have an alarm threshold of no response for 3 minutes which sends an e-mail. The same device also checks about 900 services among those 200 devices mostly every minute

In one of my client's company, we use LibreNMS. It is normally used to get SNMP data but we also have it configured to ping our more "high touch" cients routers. In that case we can record performance such as latency and packet loss. It will generate graphs that we can pass on to the client.

You could configure BFD to send out a SNMP alert when three packets have been missed on a 50 ms cycle. Or instantly if the interface charges state to down. This way you would know that they are down within 150 ms. BFD is the hardware solution. A Linux box that has to ping 1000 addresses per

How much compute and network resources does it take for a NMS to: 1. ICMP ping a device every second 2. Record these results. 3. Report an alarm after so many seconds of missed pings. We are looking for a system to in near real-time monitor if an end customers router is up or down. SNMP I assume
