About Smokeping

Smokeping was created in 2001 by Tobias Oetiker to provide a robust solution for monitoring network latency and performance. It utilized ICMP pings to gather data on response times and packet loss, offering detailed visualizations to help network administrators identify and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

Strengths of Smokeping included detailed latency graphs, customizable alerts, and support for multiple targets. Weaknesses involved a steep learning curve and limited integration with other monitoring tools. Competitors included Nagios, Zabbix, and PRTG Network Monitor.
