About the exporter regarding the ping

[anton...@gmail.com]

Now we are using blackbox exporter to test the connectivity between the source and destination .

But i think this exporter is not enough .For example , i have a requirement , every 1 minute i need to send 10 icmp requests to the destination.So that i can get the packet loss , the rtt , the jitter and so on .

I think the smokeping is better (which using fping as its plug-in). but it seems that the prometheus can not integrate with it . Is seems any other exporter can achieve the goal ?

Smokeping is the best smokeping. Have you considered changing the ping interval to 5 seconds?

I was thinking about the design of a "smokeping exporter" that would send packets with a faster timer, and add samples to a histogram.

I did something hackish, that seems to work ok.  I use a 1s scrape interval blackbox icmp, and then a set of 15s recording rules with things like quantile_over_time(0.9, probe_duration_seconds[15s])

This gives me some data similar enough to smokeping.  But with a 1s interval, pings are timed out at 1s.

A dedicated network observer would be cool, but I don't have time to write it.

thanks so much, i am now still thinking about how to replace smokeping by collectd or blackbox
