PingCollector

Collect icmp round trip times Only valid for ipv4 hosts currently

Dependencies

  • ping

Configuration

Configuration is done by:

Create a file named: PingCollector.conf in the collectors_config_path

  • enabled = true
  • interval = 60
  • target_1 = example.org
  • target_fw = 192.168.0.1
  • target_localhost = localhost

Test your configuration using the following command:

diamond-setup --print -C PingCollector

You should get a reponse back that indicates 'enabled': True and see entries for your targets in pairs like:

'target_1': 'example.org'

We extract out the key after target_ and use it in the graphite node we push.
