Hi,
I use smokeping to monitor our DNS server service
quality. I set up smokeping to query 4 domain names
every 5 minutes, in which 20 queries are executed
consequently. The configuration file looks alike:
*** Database ***
step = 300
pings = 20
+ DNS
binary = /usr/local/bin/dig
forks = 40
timeout = 10
*** Targets ***
probe = DNS
...
I found that the result of monitoring result degrade
apparentaly ( packet loss shown on the graph) after I
add four testing items ( target with host option). The
total number of target with host option is 45.
What confused me is :
1. If I set forks=80, would somkeping probe each host
with seperate process ? Could this way remove
sideeffect of sequent probing?
2. How to set up timeout value to reach most reliable
probing data set?
Thanks
Joe
