Once you are done, save and exit from the Targets file and verify your work:

Simple explanation:

  1. ++ Fill in the identifier here, which can be uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.
  2. menu = The content displayed in the menu.
  3. title = The content displayed at the top of the page.
  4. host = The target to ping, can be a domain name or IP address.
  5. Restart the container after making any changes to the configuration file.

Modify The Node Name

 

Add a display_name

*** General ***

owner    = LinuxServer.io
contact  = [email protected]
mailhost = my.mail.host
cgiurl   = http://localhost/smokeping.cgi
syslogfacility = local0
# Save space, removed comments

display_name = Zhengzhou Mobile Broadband   # Here
@include /config/pathnames

Customize the query frequncy

First, customize the query frequency:

 cd ~/myserve/smokeping && vim config/Database

*** Database ***
step     = 180
pings    = 20

Query 20 times every 3 minutes.

  • step: Query cycle in seconds, how many seconds to ping in one cycle, not just ping, it refers to the operation of all probes
  • pings: How many times to query in each cycle, for example, how many pings for each node

Edit the probe configuration file:

cd ~/myserve/smokeping && vim config/Probes

The commonly used ones are:

*** Probes ***

+ FPing
binary = /usr/sbin/fping
packetsize = 1000
 
+ FPing6
binary = /bin/ping6   # This cannot be changed according to the official website because it is the container version


+ DNS
binary = /usr/bin/dig
lookup = baidu.com
pings = 5
step = 300

+ Curl
binary = /usr/bin/curl
forks = 5
offset = 50%

Change probe type to use a specific probe

 

You can change the probe type in the configuration file to use a specific probe. Add probe = probe_name at the beginning of the line to specify which probe to use.

 *** Targets ***
 probe = FPing
 menu = Top
 title = Network Latency Grapher
 remark = Welcome to this SmokePing website.
 

 + services
 menu = Service latency
 title = Service latency (DNS, HTTP)
 
 ++ DNS
 probe = DNS   # Change probe to DNS here
 menu = DNS latency
 title = Service latency (DNS)
 
 +++ dns1
 host = dns1.example

Install dig for DNS

 

In certain Linux OS release, dig program might not include. Here is a command to install dig application.

After installed it, you can find it from /usr/bin folder.

Issue 

Modify the resolve.conf file in the image. Perform all operations in the ~/myserve/smokeping/ directory with the following steps:

Create a custom resolve.conf file: Add a usable DNS server in China, here we use 223.5.5.5

touch resolve.conf && \
echo "nameserver 223.5.5.5" > resolve.conf && \
echo "options edns0 trust-ad ndots:0" >> resolve.conf

Create a Dockerfile to pull and modify the image:

cat > Dockerfile << EOF
FROM linuxserver/smokeping:latest
COPY ./resolve.conf /etc/resolve.conf
EOF

Change the docker-compose.yml file to the following content, replacing image: with build::

cat > docker-compose.yml << EOF
version: "2.1"
services:
  smokeping:
    build: ./
    container_name: smokeping
