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).

Current Version

Last Release Date

2018-02-03

Compatible With

  • Nagios 1.x

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.
Owner's Reply:

The hops have to be shown by rrdgraph in the order of drawing, that is in descending order. Otherwise the graph would not be filled but just a bunch of lines, be really useless to view at and generally look like crap. Any more questions?

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?

Did you try out the new 0.0.3 version? Also, my mail server couldn't reach your mail server. The reply to your mail I wrote bounced 6 days later ;-)
