Re: [smokeping-users] Checking an Exchange Server

I'd suggest by testing at the command line with similar options to what you're specifying in the config file. For example, forcing SSLv2 ("ssl2=1") might be causing problems if the hosting provider has properly hardened their server (only allowing SSLv3 / TLSv1) according to best-practices. Similarly, using the -6 flag if you don't have IPv6 connectivity. Test at the command line with the same set of options to see what happens.

We have been having some problems with the exchange server we have outsourced. I am trying to collect uptime data of this server. When I use Curl at the command line I get back data:
root@UbuntuServer:/etc/smokeping/config.d# curl https://mail.hostaccount.com
<head><title>Document Moved</title></head>
<body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This document may be found <a HREF="https://mail.hostaccount.com/owa/";>here</a></body>root@UbuntuServer:/etc/smokeping/config.d# <mailto:root@UbuntuServer:/etc/smokeping/config.d#>
However, when I configure it is the Targets file:

++ ExchangeServer

probe = Curl # if this should be the default probe

menu = Exchange Server

title = Exchange Server

host = mail.hostaccount.com
agent = User-Agent: Lynx/2.8.4rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6c
extraargs = -6 --head --user [email protected]:XXXXXX

extrare = / /

follow_redirects = yes

include_redirects = yes

insecure_ssl = 1

interface = eth0

pings = 5

ssl2 = 1

timeout = 20

urlformat = https://%host%/ # mandatory
I get no data populated in the graph. I think this is nothing wired, but I am new with SmokePing so I have no idea for sure.
Thank You,

David

Assuming you're just trying to plot network latencies, between the Smokeping machine and the Exchange server, it's no different than any other network host... in that case, if you're not getting data, it's either due to misconfiguration somewhere or simply because the Smokeping host has no network path to the server. This would require looking at Smokeping itself, not Exchange.
If you're trying to do something weird (i.e. Exchange-specific), maybe you could let us know what that is so we can try to help (or even determine if Smokeping is the right tool to be using).
