Could I make a suggestion for Remote Fping probe's documentation site?
I just downloaded and installed Smokeping the other day, so I'm very new to it. The Remote Fping probe was the hardest for me to configure, and viewing the archives, I found that this seems to be true with other people. I finally found the answer to my problem with the --debug output. Currently the Website is a little hard to follow, because it has the really basic assumption that you understand SmokePing's config file. It's taken me a few hours of trial and error to get here, but I have a basic enough understanding. It's not exactly perfect, but I've got enough of a handle to get 5 different probes to work. So if my little suggestion is grossly wrong, please let me know. I'd suggest changing the example on http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/smokeping/probes/remotefping. en.html To something like this to help the people like me who didn't understand on the first thru fifth readings: SYNOPSIS *** Probes *** + RemoteFPing binary = /usr/bin/ssh packetsize = 1024 forks = 1 *** Targets *** + Targetname Probe = RemoteFPing Menu = menuname Title = Remote Fping from HostA to HostB Host = HostB.barfoo.com ++ PROBE_CONF rhost = HostA.foobar.com ruser = foo rbinary = /usr/local/sbin/fping Also And double check something for me, in the Options second, the first paragraph it says "binary option specifies the path of the remote shell program" It would seem to me should that option be rbinary? I never actually figured this part out. Thanks for a great program. I'm off to create my army of boxes to drop off at my different sites.
