Graham,
We have thought about this. The problem is that because we ping
everything asynchronously and ping responses are usually very quick
the overhead of processing the in bound packets may be much more than
the ping time itself. This is not the case with the normal command
line ping because it pings only one device serially. Of course we
might try implementing it for the case where ping times are very slow
(so that the time to respond is much greater then our time to
process). Do you guys think this a common failure mode? Also
tracking ping response times will slow down zenping considerably.
Its nice to beable to ping sweep large number of devices quickly. :)
I wasn't really thinking of modifying the standard zenping stuff, but
thinking more of some sort of command plugin. I would only want the
ping to happen every minute or so. I used to do something similar
with MRTG.
