I recently set up smokeping to gather some data, I can't say it was a breeze - documentation appears complete but misses some key pieces of information you have to dig for or trial/error it out.
E.g: i struggled figuring out where to put a non-standard probe
Failure modes were also quite weird... adding a slave to the mix broke my mind a little. Was never sure it worked but then didn't need it so retired it before i figured it out
Changing what you think is something trivial (e.g: frequency of data collection) invalidates your previously collected data files.
Other than that - fairly solid, did what i needed, runs without a fuss.
- linsomniac 6y agoI've set up smokeping a number of times over decades. Always a minor pain until the most recent one... I used a docker container, and it was a breeze! `sudo docker run -it -p 8000:80 -e WIPE=y -e TARGET="ISP;NextHop;$IP" -d dperson/smokeping` https://hub.docker.com/r/dperson/smokeping https://hub.docker.com/r/dperson/smokeping
