The BSNMP ping module is an add-on for bsnmpd that enables users to gauge reachability and latency in their systems.
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.
