-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list,
don't know if this is known limitation, but want to bring this to your attention. I just discovered that one cannot use an IPv6 address as target for EchoPingHttp. The plug-in gives a warning and the graph is empty: smokeping 2.003006 echoping 6.0.2 smokeping[8577]: EchoPingHttp: WARNING: "/usr/bin/echoping -p 6 -t 1 -w 1 -6 -h / -A -a -R -n 5 2001:db8:x:x:x:x:x:x:80" exited with status 1 - output follows smokeping[8577]: EchoPingHttp: getaddrinfo error for host: 2001 Address family for hostname not supported Problem is that the plugin automatically appends the port number to the IPv6 address. The result is a not valid IPv6 literal "2001:db8:x:x:x:x:x:x:80". Embedding the IPv6 address in "[]" helps, as the resulting IPv6 literal with port appended "[2001:db8:x:x:x:x:x:x]:80" works well with echoping in the shell. Should be easy for an educated programmer to fix this. Since this is fixed you should only use FQDN as targets for EchoPingHttp (I would assume the same is true for EchoPingHttps). cheers, Christian - ------------------ gpg fingerprint: 31E4 283B 5EFD 920C 3DD4 CC3E EA43 16EC 75BC EB6D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2+pJ4ACgkQ6kMW7HW8622kYACfVoFycQAqpJ7Etd5zXFsIYAbQ kYoAoIUz7c1ShR6DRNQLsGMGHHZK/Rbk =Mm82 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
