Yes, I also was thinking that it would be nice to have a way to schedule "down time" for a host that smokeping would use to ignore packet loss. I wouldn't know how to do this however. :-)
Currently, I click on the graph and set the ranges when the host is live and get the statistics from that. Much more manual a process but much more accurate! -Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of G.W.

Importance: Low Hi folks, My take on the statistics on the graphs is that they're misleading. http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/statistics.png The machine in question is obviously switched off overnight, and while it's running the network performs well. The 'packet loss' statistics shown in the graph don't give this impression. I inderstand that it's not easy to distinguish between a machine that's switched off and one that's unreachable (but there are lies, damned lies, and statistics:). Just my 0.02 currency units. I'll be modifying my Smokeping to do something more to my taste in this area. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
