Hi Rob; If you're referring to this page:
http://smokeping.ucdavis.edu/smoke/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi?target=Campus.Campus_services.Campus_MISC.Campus_DHCP-PINGthen I would question what, exactly, it is that UC Davis is measuring, and how that compares to what you want to measure. That target on the UC Davis page is labeled "DHCP Server PING" -- to me, that would suggest that they're doing a simple ICMP PING to the DHCP host, rather than testing the response time of the DHCP service itself.
I'm not aware of any way to measure DHCP service latency with Smokeping, or even any plugins to do so. It would probably be possible to write a Smokeping module for it though -- one approach that comes to mind is to execute dhcping against the DHCP server and time the execution (since dhcping basically just reports a yes/no status).

Hi,DHCP latency does not appear to be part of the standard toolbox but after a little but of googling, I saw that UC Davis is certainly doing it. Is there a generally available, possibly open source, program that I can incorporate into Smokeping to do DHCP latency checks. Does anyone know who to contact at UC Davis to find out how they're doing it?Thanks, Rob *Rob Tanner *UNIX Services Manager Linfield College, McMinnville Oregon _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
