Hi, I've been using smokeping to monitor network problems for what seems like decades. It now seems to have been removed from the internet, lol.
What are you using to monitor network drop-outs and latency and traffic problems? I'm already using munin to monitor service performance, and nagios to monitor services, but I'm looking for something that can graph latency in the same way as smokeping used to.
Ideas greatly appreciated.

Personally I use prometheus based tools for by network and service monitoring. The old rrd stuff lacks so many quality of life features.
Fedora packages prometheus and grafana so it is easy to install.
You might want to install investigate these tools.

Thanks very much. I meant to mention that echoping and echoping-dns are no longer available, which are critical to the operation of smokeping.
I also recall having a problem with EchoPingHttps and using it with CDNs like Cloudflare with multiple domains on a single cert.
I'll check out prometheus, thanks.

I just read this in depth and is rather interesting about how to monitor remote servers.

Sorry I wasn't more clear - it's echoping and echoping-dns that are NLA, making smokeping effectively useless.
I'm investigating prometheus, but it's quite different and requires a much more involved setup process, it seems.

Once you have the setup done it’s a very powerful platform.
