The BSNMP ping module is an add-on for bsnmpd that enables users to gauge reachability and latency in their systems.
BSNMP ping is a module that works with bsnmpd for measuring network latency and reachability. It functions by sending out ICMP packets to the set hosts, and maintains a record of received packets. This module can be queried via SNMP for specifics on lost packets, peak and lowest latency, as well as other statistics for the specific historical period chosen.
It is important to note that bsnmp-ping is restricted to BSD only operating systems, as bsnmpd is only compatible with BSD operating systems. Two examples of how to use bsnmp-ping include:
- Pinging two hosts. The first host is pinged once per second, with a history kept for 300 seconds. The second host is pinged five times per second, and keeps a history for 30 seconds.
- In /etc/snmpd.config file, add the following lines:
* begemotSnmpdModulePath."ping" = "/usr/local/lib/snmp_ping.so"
* pingHost.1 = "10.8.9.2"
* pingInterval.1 = 100
* pingHistory.1 = 300
* pingHost.2 = "2.2.2.2"
* pingInterval.1 = 20
* pingHistory.1 = 150
Overall, BSNMP ping offers a useful tool for BSD operating systems to measure network latency and reachability, with the ability to customize settings for specific hosts.
