[smokeping-users] TCPPing - glob -- how to fix this?

[Christian Vo]

(Sorry if it's been asked, but google search didn't clearly explain how to
resolve this =()


I'm trying to implement a probe using TCPPing
I have the script working along with tcptraceroute (i.e. works via CLI fine)

however, smokeping isn't generating any data against the target host,
and from debug allI see is the following:

TCPPing: forks 5, timeout for each target 301
TCPPing: Executing /usr/sbin/tcpping -C -x 20 host.somewhere.com 443
TCPPing: Received: GLOB(0x2e388e8)
TCPPing: host.somewhere.com: got
(Nothing else afterwards related to TCPPing, just FPING targets and related
results)

I tried to search on " TCPPing: Received: GLOB(0x2e388e8)"
which got me this: https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/60
but I'm not sure if I'm missing something...

my Probe definition:

+ TCPPing

binary = /usr/sbin/tcpping
forks = 5
step = 300
offset = 50%
timeout = 15

my Target definition:

probe = TCPPing
menu = zoom
title = host.somewhere.com
host = host.somewhere.com
port = 443

Pls help,

Chris

Hi Christian,

I had similar issue, make sure you have installed packed called tcptraceroute/traceroute(that’s solved my issue) on the box that you are running smokeping instance from. I am 100% sure that’s the issue.

Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install tcptraceroute

Also, have you tried running smokeping in debug mode? It could shed some light.

Thanks,
Igor

Hi Igor,

Both tcptraceroute and tcpping are in the same folder. I notice issue seems
to be related to the script being called with -c option? If I run the
command manually with this flag, it doesnt return the values.. not sure
where I'd fix this, anyone?

Hi Christian,

It has something to do with the tcptraceroute package, I had the same issue. I remember what I did was re-installed tcptraceroute package and it worked.

Thanks,
Igor
