-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd like to think I'm fairly knowledgable in the ways of configuring smokeping to make it do what I want to do. As an example, I want to know when port 5517 on a given host is down as it's providing a server service to quite a few people. Since it's viewable by http, echoping was my probe of choice.
With that said, here's my alerts section: *** Alerts *** from = address to = address + loss5517 type = loss pattern = <100%,==100%,==100% comment = port 5517 is not responding (10 minutes), this is an advisory. + loss5517_1800 type = loss pattern = <100%,==100%,==100%,==100%,==100%,==100%,==100% comment = Port 5517 has not been responding for 30 minutes SERVICE CONSIDERED DO WN. + portup5517 type = loss pattern = ==100%,==100%,<100% comment = Port 5517 up after 10 minutes down. + ok5517 type = loss pattern = ==100%,<100%,<100% comment = port 5517 is responding (10 minutes) + ok5517_1800 type = loss pattern = ==100%,<100%,<100%,<100%,<100%,<100%,<100% comment = port 5517 has been responding for 30 minutes. SERVICE CONSIDERED UP. As you can see, I'm using packet loss to determine whether the port is down (not the host, that's covered separately and is working fine). If I change the alert type to "rtt" and use the !=U and ==U elements, the alerting does not work. I don't know why this is, as to me it should work just fine. You can view the chart at http://archon.silvertree.org/test.png What was I doing wrong by using the !=U and ==U?
