ICMP

Check Ping – with MTR and custom outputs

Write a Review

Description:

An extension of a basic ICMP test script idea.

The check does fairly boring ICM check of a host. On packet loss it can run a MTR ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTR_%28software%29 ) check and email the results to the specified address. (Requires that the nagios user have sudo rights to do so.) The is great for companies that have critical network paths without a 24×7 staff of people to look after them.

hard to configure
by Majed, December 31, 2017

took me a long time to get it running, but happily i succeded. sudo needs to be installed. tried 2 other mtr plugins to no nice results. The problem is that graphs produced are empty, or is that expected?
