And I just answered my own question (in case anyone else is trying to figure this out too):

Minor: add generate-smokeping.php to dump a Smokeping target configuration to stdout; redirect for example to /etc/smokeping/config.d/Targets to automatically add new hosts
If you?re running current CE (5229), you don?t have it. Ooops.

Howdy Lane,
I?m lost. Where in the fack is this ??Observium SmokePing configuration script to build your SmokePing config?? My search-fu is apparently weak.
Thanks,
Ron

SmokePing graphs are viewable within Observium under applicable hosts.
You need to install SmokePing onto the same machine as Observium and then use the Observium SmokePing configuration script to build your SmokePing config. Once you have it setup, start SmokePing and the graphs will begin to appear in Observium.
You need to edit/generate the SmokePing config & restart SmokePing every time you add/remove hosts, its not automated from Observium.

Milton,
I am monitoring the customer routers with observium so checking latency and drops from the observium box would be fine.
When installing smoke ping are the graphs viewable from within observium or it's another portal?

There is a fairly powerful description language for the types of loss/latency you want to detect with Smokeping. If you modify the script shipped with Observium to build the Smokeping targets you can probably hook the smokeping alerts up pretty easily.
However, this is only going to measure loss/latency from Observium to the router. It is not going to measure latency/loss from your router to the customer. Smokeping can do that, but Observium isn't set up to generate those kinds of configs, and it would require a smokeping agent sitting in a network close to the router the customer is attached to.
What Observium could do is alert on the rate of errors on an interface, but not latency or loss across the interface, unless you are actually monitoring the customer's equipment with Observium.

Bruce,
I just looked at smoke ping and it looks nice. There's integration of it with observium? If so where can I find the integration steps?

Same here. Would love some other process run pings and check for this. At this time the only time devices are pinged are at polling right ?

Hi Adam,
We would love to see this implemented as well, but on a somewhat limited basis.
Maybe a 2nd poller can be run ever X minutes which pings selected devices 5 times and measures for packetloss?

We already do ping/latency. Doing packetloss is a different thing, because we have to send a lot of packets at a device and measure how many are returned. I'm not sure if it's something we can do in the poller without affecting other things.

Tom/Adam,
Is this something that you guys will be implementing in the future ? I think a lot of people would love to monitor and alert based on packet drops or latency and just basic ping test.
If not is it something hard to impelled end on ones own?

We don't measure packet loss, so you can't send an alarm on it.

Hi there.
Resending out message as I am hoping someone can assist me with this.
How on earth do you make a packet loss alarm? IE if a CPE hits over 30% then it will alarm?
I cant find an attribute from the guide to do this.
I have set an alert as device_ping gt 250
type_match *
This works when a cpe hits over 250mms thus showing latency.
But how do I do a packet loss? I have tried packet_loss gt 30 but as this is not in the list it dosnt work!
Any help would be most appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi there,
Just got your product up and working with a few back end modifies ect we have a good monitoring system hear. We paid the extra to have the alert functionality as we are an ISP.
I have a question though for you.
How on earth do you make a packet loss alarm? IE if a CPE hits over 30% then it will alarm?
