Bash script for storing ping data in RRDs and graphing that data
#!/bin/bash
#
# INSTALL
# -------
# 1.) Create directory structure
# <base_dir>
# <base_dir>\bin
# <base_dir>\etc
# <base_dir>\log
# <base_dir>\rrd
# 2.) Place this file in <base_dir>/bin
# 3.) Create file <base_dir>/etc/zping.conf, fill with hosts to ping, one per
# line
# 4.) Modify base_dir and graph_dir below, graph images will be placed in
# graph_dir
# 5.) add cronjob, * * * * * /<base_dir>/bin/zping.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
#
# USAGE
# -----
# Sends 20 pings at .2 second intervals to hosts listed in zping.conf, once per
# minute. Stores number of packets lost and min/avg/max RTTs for each host in
# an RRD. Generates a new 4 hour graph image for each host, showing min/avg/max
# RTTs after each run.
