ping-monitor - determine reachability status

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 ../ping-monitor line 33.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../ping-monitor line 33.

Description:

The ping-monitor looks at the last 5 samples (by default) of ping data and determines the status of the host. It will choose one of the following four statuses:

  • UP - the host is up now and has always (throughout the sample period) responded to pings.
  • UPUNSTABLE - the host is up now, but on at least one of the samples, it did not respond.
  • DOWNUNSTABLE - the host is not responding now, but it has responded within the sample period.
  • DOWN - the host is down now and has not responded within the sample period.

It also writes coloring information for the ping-index web-page.
