Free Download Smokeping For Windows
Rapheal Charlton
is apache started? if not try to launch C:\wamp\install_services_auto.bat ; it will install apache and mysql as a windows service and thus both services will start automatically with your computer, if you do not want them to start automatically you could try C:\wamp\install_services.bat it will install them as service but in manual mode, and thus you will have to start them manualy (with C:\wamp\launch_wampserver.bat)
Probe modules are located in C:\smokeping-2.0.8\lib\Smokeping\probes ; some of them use basefork.pm and thus basevars.pm (same folder) which could, or could not work under win32 (not sure yet, but i'll try as soon as i can)
I have followed the instructions (except am using IIS rather than WAMP), smokeping seems to run ok at the command line however when opening in the browser I get the message: ERROR: Cannot parse DS in 'DEF:median=d:/web/cgi-bin/var/World.rrd:median:AVERAGE'
Thanks for the quick update but am still getting no output, I get messages like: ERROR: C:/smokeping/etc/config.dist, line 13: Directory '\\30.0.4.100\d$\web\cgi-bin\var' does not exist (30.0.4.100 being the root web on my server).
Well.. I installed again smokeping on windows, this time on c:
The problem now is that when i 'm installing VirtualHosts on apache, DocumentRoot is no more readable. So smokeping can't open its graphs. What i should do now..? :S
I'm also having the problem with the smokegraphs not showing. It only works on localhost. When trying to open just the picture, I get "You don't have permission to access /simg/smokeping.png on this server." message.
The thing is that I have granted NTFS rights to the folder, so obviously it needs to be set up somewhere else also. Any hint?
Thanx.
Its me again.. i already fix the problem.. i already run the fping smoothly and already see the graph of smokeping.. but the problem now is that there's no data appear in graph.. eventhough id wait it for 30 min.. still no data post on the graph..
I'm having the same problem as a user a few posts up. Graphs (and the other images on page) dont display. When i try to go directly to the image i get a "Not Found" error. Yet in the "simg" directory the images are being created. I have all my paths properly defined, no other problems, no errors when apache or smokeping starts. The images just wont display. Any idea's what happening?

I have installed all above softwares (inplace of wamp i have installed apache) upto step 6.
The problem is when i type C:\smokeping-2.0.8\bin\smokeping.pl in cmd prompt, it is showing follwing error:
Unrecognized character \x94 at C:\smokeping-2.1.1\bin\smokeping.pl line 9.
The link to the rrdtool perl module for windows doesn't work anymore (page has moved; i'll correct the links soon);links are ok again!
I think you should install this: -1.2.10-win32-perl58.zip (unzip, and launch install.cmd)
this is the perl RRDs module
I have a problem with my smokeping under windows. All seems to be good but my latency isn't update on my graphs and i've a paket loss rate at 100%, may be a problem with my fping ? someone have this problems ? a link to a godd version of fping ? (use fping 2.17 with cygwin1.dll on the repertory)
I looked through the comments but couldn't find an answer to my question. I followed your instructions exactly and received no errors on starting smokeping.pl, but when I go to open my 127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/smokeping.pl (or its public address), my computer either displays or tries to download the smokeping.pl file. I restarted Apache and made sure cgi support was enabled.
Software error:
ERROR: Section '\smokeping-2.2.4' does not exist.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@localhost), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
One question, please: When I try to create new fpings smokepings with a step different from 300s(180s f.e.), it says rdd graphs are not valid and it doesn't creates new ones with this step. How could I solve it? how could I create rdd files with the new step?
Anyway as far as I know there's no way to change the step and keep the data! the only way is to stop the scheduled task, delete every *.rrd files (should be in c:\smokeping-2.0.8\var if you used that tutorial) and restart the scheduled task!
I have a problem with my smokeping under windows. All seems to be good but my latency isn't update on my graphs when I want to ping IP addresse (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). But it works when I ping website like google.fr. Can you help me please ?
it's ok, I solved the pb !!!
Do you know if we can do remote pooling with smokeping (for exemple, connect on a rooter and calcul latency from the rooter to another rooter) ???
thanks for helping me !
I know it's a windows question (and an old one at that), but maybe it's similar to Linux and OSX. This is the first thing that came up when I was looking for a simple command to keep network traffic on my laptop. Might be useful to someone looking for something similar.
This is the command smokeping that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
Have you ever wanted to monitor the quality of your internet connection over time? Do you notice that your internet connection sometimes feels sluggish, but it is difficult to prove or provide sufficient information to your ISP for them to investigate? Then smokeping might be able to help.
What software are you using? Did you RTFM for it?? Clearly you have a packet loss there with the red lines. The black is normally a representation of the variation in the response time... Like a smokeping graph.. Not exactly sure what you mean by blank??
Love how its says icmp windows dll is default - BS, it was using UDP as default, and my gateway does not send back icmp non reachables.. So it was giving my 100% packet loss to my default gateway. Until I changed it to icmp.. I could have my pfsense send back the response.. I have this setup on the wan so I can traceroute to my public IP from the outside and get an answer.. But I switched it to use icmp and now for me is working as you would expect..
