Bug#926808: fping: --timestamp should show missing responses too per host and line

Show all headers | View raw

Package: fping
Version: 4.2-1
Severity: wishlist

In --loop or --count modes for example:

# fping --timestamp  -6 -A -d --count 10 2a00:1450:400a:802::3

2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : xmt/rcv/%loss = 10/0/100%
#

Adding -u or -a doesn't help. Adding -u -a (both), is not supported.

I would expect something more useful, i.e.:

# fping --timestamp  -6 -A -d --count 10 2a00:1450:400a:802::3

2a00:1450:400a:802::3 (2a00:1450:400a:802::3) : xmt/rcv/%loss = 10/0/100%
#

or something like this.

The main benefit is when the packet loss is interminent, as the output is
then easier to be ingested into external monitoring systems.

Cheers,
Witold
