It consists of a daemon process which + organizes the latency measurements and a CGI which + presents the graphs. + + +SmokePing is ... +================ + + * quite fast because it uses FPing todo the actual pinging + + * easy to customize through a webtemplate and an extensive + configuration file. + + * written in perl and should readily port to any unix system + + * extensible through plug-in modules + + * an RRDtool frontend + + * able to deal with DYNAMIC IP addresses as used with + Cable and ADSL internet. + +Roadmap +======= + +SmokePing comes with documentation to make it easy to use and +install. The following important documentation files are +included with SmokePing: + + + * doc/smokeping_install.txt -- How to Setup and Install + * doc/smokeping_config.txt -- Description of the Config File + * doc/smokeping.txt -- About the SmokePing Daemon + * doc/smokeping.cgi.txt -- About the CGI Module + +In the doc directory you can find even more information +and the above documents in MAN, POD, TXT and HTML format. + +Do you like it +============== + +If you like SmokePing, and want to show your appreciation for +the work I am doing (SmokePing like MRTG and RRDtool have +been written entirely in my spare time) please feel free to +use: + + http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/wish + + +Cheers +tobi + -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
