Smokeping is a network latency monitor powered on RRDTool. It collects data about network latency for various services and reports it through a convenient, graph-powered website.
Configuration
The configuration is fairly basic, with some files in /etc/smokeping that determine what hosts/services to ping. It has the ability to send email alerts, but those are not configured at this time. The entire /etc/smokeping/config.d folder is controlled via cfengine.
Website config
The web interface is driven by a single CGI script that has been moved into /var/www/smokeping. In that same folder are all of the images generated by the daemon and other parts of the website.
Web interface
Authenticated users can access the website at https://smokeping.ugcs.caltech.edu. The menu on the left selects groups and machines (or services), while clicking on a chart changes it so that it can be manipulated (zooming in, etc).
