I have successfully install smokeping on my Ubuntu Karmic machine and am monitoring servers. I need to be able to monitor an IP address and a port, can someone tell me how I do that?

I looked into Smokeping::probes::TCPPing but I cannot find how to install TCPPing

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

You can get tcpping from vdberg.org. An alternative monitoring solution is etherape. It's in your ubuntu repository & is easy to use & gives the information you want.

Another alternative is nmap. Tere is a nice GUI for it: zenmap, which can create a network topology map. Both are in your repository.

Just a quick note on tcpping which does not work anymore with recent traceroute binaries.

A newer version of the script can be grabbed at https://github.com/deajan/tcpping

Will work with Linux and BSD (tested with linux traceroute traceroute 2.0.22 and FreeBSD traceroute 1.4a12).

This will hopefully save some headaches on setting up a TCPPing probe on smokeping :)
