conn/ping latency warning
How do I enable warnings/alerts based on the conn/ping "latency" for a device? I know it will allow you to set warnings based on the amount of fails but not the latency itself - do I need a custom script/command for this? EG. Go yellow on 500ms+ ping red on 1000ms+ ping?
Thanks,
Marc

I have never seen any indication that this can be done out of the box. Steve
Hi Marc,
to my knowledge this cannot be done with (vanilla) xymon but a tool designed exactly for this is smokeping http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ smokeping collects latency-data (for ping and many other protocols) in RRD graphs an can send warning e-mails on certain criteria.
I seem to remember an extension on deadcat that allows the integration on smokeping (in big-brother and probably hobbit/xymon as well) but never tested it myself. The upcomping feature of xymon to generate status-messages from arbitrary rrd-files may ease the integration.
For generating the smokeping-configuration from a bb-hosts file I have created an quick-and-dirty script I could share.

Or you could try rolling your own. Use this as the basis. ping -c 10 $IP | grep ttl | sed "s/=/ /g" | awk '{ sum+=$10 } END { print "Average = ",sum/NR }' Flavour to taste.
