check_traceroute_pingplot

Write a Review

Description:

This plugin does a traceroute with the given OS’s traceroute command (currently supported: Linux and Windows)
and creates a nice graph via rrdgraph.

So now, when a machine you are trying to access has bad ping times every now and then, you can find out where
it actually starts (if you are running a two-way traceroute). The only thing missing (which won’t ever be added
though) is checking for packetloss (like eg. the nicely done default plugin check_icmp does).

Nice plugin
by akyl, November 30, 2016

Plugin is working but in the graph view the hops are not sorted. hop_01 is not at the top or at the end of the hop list but somewhere in between the first and the last hop. Is this a known issue or is there a solution? Thank you.


Bug
by dbizsley, April 30, 2014

Looks good but have come accross a bug Argument "176.57.248.137" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at ./check_traceroute_ This is when the traceroute looks different to expected on linux. such as 1 172.31.255.253 (172.31.255.253) 0.877 ms 1.604 ms 1.937 ms 2 * * * 3 176.57.248.181 (176.57.248.181) 10.672 ms 10.671 ms 11.033 ms 4 176.57.248.141 (176.57.248.141) 10.979 ms 176.57.248.137 (176.57.248.137) 5 172.24.255.14 (172.24.255.14) 17.296 ms 17.292 ms 17.267 ms 6 172.24.1.51 (172.24.1.51) 10.652 ms * * note line 4 contains an IP name in the place of the times. Any way to fix this?
