remoteping-collector - reachability from other sites

Usage:

Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC (@INC contains: . /usr/lib/remstats/lib /usr/lib/perl5/ /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at ../remoteping-collector line 33.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../remoteping-collector line 33.

Description:

The remoteping-collector is intended to gather ping statistics (see ping-collector) from remote sites. It works by contacting remoteping-servers running on other machines. This way it will be possible to monitor the same list of hosts from multiple points on the network and determine several things:

  • general health of parts of the network of interest to the co-operating parties, and
  • if certain parts of the network are performing better or worse than others.

Note:

Note the use of the future tense in the previous paragraph. I'm looking for volunteers to run the remoteping-server and let me have access to it. In return, I'll let you look at the stats that this process gathers. I'm planning to monitor ISPs and other sites across Canada, as well as commonly accessed sites around the world, to determine how we're doing in network performance, here in Canada. If you want to volunteer, please hit the mailto URL below and ignore the bounce from my spam protection.
