SmokePing - The Deluxe Latency Monitor

Probe for network and application latency. Identify hot spots, see trends developing, send alarms for critical conditions.

SmokePing is a deluxe latency measurement tool. SmokePing project can measure, store and display latency, latency distribution and packet loss. SmokePing uses RRDtool to maintain a longterm datastore and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the minute information on the state of each network connection.

SmokePing uses latency measurement plugins for seamless extendability. SmokePing comes with a smart alarm system. Apart from simple threshold alarms, you will also have the option of defining loss and latency patterns and use them to trigger alarms.

SmokePing keeps track of your network latency:

* Best of breed latency visualisation.
* Interactive graph explorer.
* Wide range of latency measurment plugins.
* Master/Slave System for distributed measurement.
* Highly configurable alerting system.
* Live Latency Charts with the most 'interesting' graphs.
* Free and OpenSource Software written in Perl written by Tobi Oetiker, the creator of MRTG and RRDtool
