Host template to add ping response checks

stevesh · **Posted:** Tue 19 Aug, 2008 7:16 pm

This host template will add ping time response checks, if you have the mrtg-ping-probe script available.

Code:

$head_lines .= "#---------------------------------------------------------------------\n";
my $target_name = $router_name . ".ping";
$target_lines .= <<ECHO;
# Response time
Target[$target_name]: `mrtg-ping-probe -p '1000*max/1000*min' -s $router_name`
PageTop[$target_name]: $router_name Response time
Title[$target_name]: Ping RTT to $router_name
Factor[$target_name]: 0.001
Maxbytes[$target_name]: 5000000
AbsMax[$target_name]: 10000000
Options[$target_name]: gauge
YLegend[$target_name]: response time
ShortLegend[$target_name]: s
LegendO[$target_name]: Low:&nbsp;
LegendI[$target_name]: High:
Legend1[$target_name]: Ping response time range
Legend2[$target_name]: Ping response time range
Legend4[$target_name]: Peak low response RTT
Legend3[$target_name]: Peak high response RTT
routers.cgi*WithPeak[$target_name]: none
routers.cgi*Options[$target_name]: nomax, nopercent, nototal, scaled
routers.cgi*InOut[$target_name]: no
routers.cgi*InCompact[$target_name]: no
routers.cgi*GraphStyle[$target_name]: range
routers.cgi*Icon[$target_name]: clock-sm.gif
routers.cgi*ShortName[$target_name]: Response
ECHO

Steve,
regarding these templates, what variables in the template itself have to be changed to the host I'm running ping probes against? for example, if I have a switch called CORE1, would I change the $target_name to CORE1?
what do I change the $router_name to?

thanx!!

You shouldnt need to change anything. The template is handled by cfgmaker, so it will set the variables appropriately according to its command line parameters. Keep the template exactly as posted above, variable names and all.
