It measures network latency to a configurable set of destinations on the network, and displays its findings in easy-to-read Web pages. SmokePing has special support for monitoring hosts with dynamic IP addresses. SmokePing uses RRDtool as its logging and graphing back-end, making the system very efficient. The presentation of the data on the Web is done through a CGI which creates graphs on demand. Distribution: server:monitoring / openSUSE_13.1
