Ping input plugin

This input plugin will measures the round-trip

Windows:

Configration:

	## urls to ping
	urls = ["www.google.com"] # required
	
	## number of pings to send per collection (ping -n <COUNT>)
	count = 4 # required
	
	## Ping timeout, in seconds. 0 means default timeout (ping -w <TIMEOUT>)
	Timeout = 0

Measurements & Fields:

• packets_transmitted ( from ping output )
• reply_received ( increasing only on valid metric from echo replay, eg. 'Destination net unreachable' reply will increment packets_received but not reply_received )
• packets_received ( from ping output )
• percent_reply_loss ( compute from packets_transmitted and reply_received )
• percent_packets_loss ( compute from packets_transmitted and packets_received )
• errors ( when host can not be found or wrong prameters is passed to application )
• response time
  • average_response_ms ( compute from minimum_response_ms and maximum_response_ms )
  • minimum_response_ms ( from ping output )
  • maximum_response_ms ( from ping output )

Tags:

• server
