Introduction to SmokePing SmokePing is a renowned open-source network latency monitoring tool developed by Tobias Oetiker (famous for RRDtool and MRTG). Unlike standard "ping" tools that just tell you if a host is up or down, SmokePing specializes in measuring, graphing, and analyzing latency over time . It uses a master/slave architecture, sends out regular probes (ICMP, TCP, HTTP, DNS, etc.), and stores results in RRD (Round Robin Database) files, producing stunning, detailed graphs that reveal network jitter, packet loss, and trends. SmokePing specializes in measuring
++ WebServer probe = TCPPing host = example.com port = 80 For distributed monitoring, set up a SmokePing master on Windows (WSL) and slaves on remote Linux machines. The master collects data from slaves and generates graphs. Configure smokeping_slaves and use Secrets file for authentication. 3. Alerting Set up email alerts for latency spikes or packet loss:
