Concerning fping options, I have some RRD graphs that show enormous pings to some of our customer's (upwards of 800ms) because as the radio doesn't pass any traffic it sits there and when someone first looks for it, it acts kind of dumb.
What delegates how often the FPING command is issued? I'm not looking for the arguments for fping itself, but rather how hobbitd kicks fping into gear.
I would like to increase the rate of the pings and see if that helps. I'm running a continuous ping over night to see if that changes the graph or if it really does spike to that outrageous height.

I'm just wondering what triggers in the Hobbit code is used to make a RED ping status :
- after just one no echo-reply each 5min ?
- after a couple of no echo-reply ? How much ?
- What is the timeout used to declare the host unreachable ?
It goes red when the ping utility that is used (fping or hobbitping) says that the host did not respond. How many pings are sent and what the timeouts are is decided by the ping tool; see their man-pages for details. You can tune this through commandline options for the ping tool, these go into the FPINGCMD setting in hobbitserver.cfg

Got it, options must be put in the hobbitserver.cfg. Thanks for the info!
