Monitoring Network Latency With Smokeping (Debian Etch)

Version 1.0
Author: Falko Timme

This guide shows how to install and configure Smokeping on Debian Etch to monitor network latency. From the Smokeping web site: 'SmokePing is a deluxe latency measurement tool. It can measure, store and display latency, latency distribution and packet loss.

3.1 Basic Example

We will now do a basic configuration to measure the network latency to certain servers in various countries (e.g. Germany, UK, USA).

Open /etc/smokeping/config again:

Find the section that begins with ++ Europe. Add a stanza for Germany between it and the Switzerland stanza (which you can comment out if you don't want to monitor a server in Switzerland):

Save your changes and restart Smokeping:

In the menu on the left side we can now go to the countries/servers that we configured earlier and take a look at their graphs:
