I agree ... care to provide a patch ? |

@oetiker would a patch adding a config option for the probes FPing and FPing6 probes that "enforces protocol" that would then add the parameters to the binary calls be what you had in mind, or should be just change the calls directly and not care to make it configurable? |
|
how about a patch that makes the FPing probe with the current version of fping ? we then would not need Fping6 anymore. |

Starting with FPing 3.16, the IPv6 functionality was merged in the main binary and fping now respects the system-wide setting for address resolution. This means that when we add a target that has both an A record and a AAAA record, the probe tests the IPv6 address by default. This breaks the expectation that the FPing probe tests IPv4 and that the FPing6 probe checks IPv6. To restore this, we can now add a parameter to the probes to force the protocol version to be 4 or 6.

I upgraded to fping v4 on my debian machine and noticed that all my FPing6 probes stopped working. I ended up making two tiny fping4/fping6 scripts to pass -4/-6 to fping, but it would be nice to be able to set protocol version in FPing probe settings and not use wrapper scripts.
