This is a text-only version of the following page on https://raymii.org: --- Title : Traceroute to Smokeping Target config Author : Remy van Elst Date : 28-06-2014 URL : https://raymii.org/s/snippets/Traceroute_to_Smokeping_Target_Config.html Format : Markdown/HTML --- This little one-liner converts the output of traceroute to Smokeping Target output. This way you can build your smokeping config faster.

There is an [IPv6 version of this article][2]. You can see smokeping in action [here at serverius][3]. More info about [Smokeping here on the website][4]. I have most hops from my ISP in my smokeping config to see where the latency might be. This traceroute one liner helps to get the right config. traceroute -w 3 example.org | grep -v "*" | sed -e 's/(//g' -e 's/)//g' | awk '{ gsub(/\./,"_",$2); print "++ "$2"\nmenu = "$3"\ntitle = "$2" - "$3"\nhost = "$3"\n"}' The "*" are grepped out, the `()` are removed from the IP address and we also replace . in the hostname so that Smokeping doesn't barf on that. This will give you something like this (for [tweakers.net][5]: ++ 0_so-1-2-0_xr1_tc2_xs4all_net menu = 194.109.5.14 title = 0_so-1-2-0_xr1_tc2_xs4all_net - 194.109.5.14 host = 194.109.5.14 ++ amsix_true_nl menu = 195.69.144.171 title = amsix_true_nl - 195.69.144.171 host = 195.69.144.171 ++ ams7_edge01_tengig-6-1-11_true_nl menu = 87.233.1.218 title = ams7_edge01_tengig-6-1-11_true_nl - 87.233.1.218 host = 87.233.1.218 ++ tweakers_net menu = 213.239.154.20 title = tweakers_net - 213.239.154.20 host = 213.239.154.20 Or for [reddit.com][6]: ++ 0_so-1-2-0_xr1_tc2_xs4all_net menu = 194.109.5.14 title = 0_so-1-2-0_xr1_tc2_xs4all_net - 194.109.5.14 host = 194.109.5.14 ++ eth7-1_edge1_ams5_nl_atrato_net menu = 195.69.145.229 title = eth7-1_edge1_ams5_nl_atrato_net - 195.69.145.229 host = 195.69.145.229 ++ eth1-6_edge2_ams5_nl_as5580_net menu = 78.152.44.44 title = eth1-6_edge2_ams5_nl_as5580_net - 78.152.44.44 host = 78.152.44.44 ++ 78_152_38_234 menu = 78.152.38.234 title = 78_152_38_234 - 78.152.38.234 host = 78.152.38.234 ++ a23-62-98-210_deploy_static_akamaitechnologies_com menu = 23.62.98.210 title = a23-62-98-210_deploy_static_akamaitechnologies_com - 23.62.98.210 host = 23.62.98.210 This can be pasted right in to Smokeping's config.
