Dayo,

[...]

the hostnames in the example configuration are fictitious.  You must
replace them with the names of the actual hosts that you want to
measure the RTTs to.

Personally I would recommend to use hosts that are either of specific
interest to you, or that are lightly used, but running reliably, and
on networks that are of interest to you.  Also, make sure that the
hosts actually respond to ping and that their administrators don't
mind your pinging (the traffic is relatively low, something like 20
PING requests every five minutes - someone please correct me if I'm
wrong).
