Define probes
I recommend these best practices based on my own experience having used Smokeping over a number of years to analyze network latency and illustrate packet loss.
I suggest starting by making sure that 20 pings are sent every 60 seconds. It’s important to consider the relevance of this when you first deploy Smokeping as changes to these parameters will break your RRD graphs and require you to start from scratch. To set this rate, edit the Database file located in Smokeping’s config.ddirectory:
No Refreshing on page
vi usr/local/smokeping/etc/basepage.html.dist
copied the original file to basepage.html.dist.20190430
removed the following line from the header:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="<##step##>">
