Ping input plugin

This input plugin will measures the round-trip

Windows:

Configuration:

	## urls to ping
	urls = ["www.google.com"] # required
	
	## number of pings to send per collection (ping -n <COUNT>)
	count = 4 # required
	
	## Ping timeout, in seconds. 0 means default timeout (ping -w <TIMEOUT>)
	Timeout = 0

Measurements & Fields:

  • packets_transmitted ( from ping output )
  • reply_received ( increasing only on valid metric from echo replay, eg. 'Destination net unreachable' reply will increment packets_received but not reply_received )
  • packets_received ( from ping output )
  • percent_reply_loss ( compute from packets_transmitted and reply_received )
  • percent_packets_loss ( compute from packets_transmitted and packets_received )
  • errors ( when host can not be found or wrong prameters is passed to application )
  • response time
    • average_response_ms ( compute from minimum_response_ms and maximum_response_ms )
    • minimum_response_ms ( from ping output )
    • maximum_response_ms ( from ping output )

Tags:

  • server
