   SmokePing is a latency logging and graphing and
   alerting system. It consists of a daemon process which
   organizes the latency measurements and a CGI which
   presents the graphs.


SmokePing is ...
================

 * extensible through plug-in modules

 * easy to customize through a webtemplate and an extensive
   configuration file.

 * written in perl and should readily port to any unix system

 * an RRDtool frontend

 * able to deal with DYNAMIC IP addresses as used with
   Cable and ADSL internet.

Do you like it

If you like SmokePing, and want to show your appreciation for
the work I am doing (SmokePing like MRTG and RRDtool have
been written entirely in my spare time) please feel free to
