MTR handler for SmokePing

smokeping_mtr.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl

# http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04048.html

# this script would be run when smokeping detects some loss.  The
# smokeping trigger could look like:
#
# +highLossTwice
# type = loss
# pattern = >70%,>70%
# to = |/usr/local/smokeping/contrib/mtr_email.pl
# comment = 10 minutes of high loss

# this runs mtr on master and traceroute on a slave and emails results
# to an address hardcoded below.  It was a throw-away so I didn't spend
# any time making it user or developer friendly.
