There's no hardcoded limit; the main limiting factors will be the granularity you want (i.e. the number of pings you send to each host during each poll cycle), your polling interval, processing power, disk IO capacity and network bandwidth.Please can you help me with your tool I am looking for a tool My questions How many devices can it ping as a maximum at a time
You can also use a master/slave configuration to spread out the load.
It's completely configurable. You decide what you want it to be, keeping in mind factors the factors above.What is the polling interval
It's completely configurable. The sample configuration stores data for (IIRC) 400 days, but I've set up SmokePing instances that store several years worth of data.How long can the historical data save up to
It would help to know exactly what you mean here. 'Real time' means different things, depending on which salesperson you've been talking to. :) At its core, SmokePing works on the concept of polling cycles, so typically things like alerts, etc, will work at whatever granularity your polling cycle uses.Can it also do some real time stuff
You *could* set a very short polling time, with only 1 or 2 pings per cycle, if all you want is things like alerts... but then you don't get all the other stats (loss %, range, std. dev., etc) that make SmokePing such a phenomenally useful tool.
AFAIK, there is no "out of the box" integration. However, depending on what exactly you're wanting to do, it might be possible to write your own scripts to do it. SmokePing can run a script instead of sending emails when an alert happens, so you might be able to get some integration that way.Can it integrate with other tools like openview
