Package Description

Module Modules

SelectConvSrcDest1.pm

This program is to be setup as a cron job to run every 24 hours (after installing on a server with a PingER data source)
This script is to be run once the data for all sources have been brought to the server from various monitoring sites using getdata.pl.
This program finds unique SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPings(maximum) combinations and creates a srcdest.txt file agaist each combination. It calls the PingERtoSmokeping application to convert the data agaist each of the unique SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPings(maximum) combinations found.

PingERtoSmokeping.pm
