      Like the title says I am monitoring a Tunnelbroker tunnel which every now and then has some packet loss or longer RTT. I disabled that monitoring in 2.1 because a pinger showed long delays while there weren't any delays at the moment and showed an orange status. Something stayed in memory I guess.
      With this 2.1.1 version I enabled the monitoring again, but now my logs show this:

      an 24 11:27:54	apinger: command (/usr/local/sbin/pfSctl -c 'service reload dyndns GwIpv6' -c 'service reload ipsecdns' -c 'service reload openvpn GwIpv6' -c 'filter reload' ) exited with status: 255

        What is the build time on the snapshot you're using? If it's from earlier than Thursday, upgrade and check it again.

          Still the same error. Would there be something I can change?

            Not sure if its apinger or my connection, but 4-6 months ago apinger started to report packet lost/delay (around the same time there were many changes to the binary)… I could be wrong but I felt that apinger became way too sensitive.. Running a speedtest to over my WAN, apinger would report there is packet lost/connect down while the test is running.  I fine tuned the gateway settings so it wouldn't report (in my eyes) false findings.

              Same problem.

              I have strong feeling reverting the apinger thing back to 2.1 state would be a nice improvement.

                I had this problem, too.
                With 2.1.1-PRERELEASE (amd64) built on Wed Jan 29 16:03:22 EST 2014 (or some earlier version)
                the RRD graphs are working for my HE IPv6 Tunnel.

                Thanks

                    I think it is ok now. Running the latest "built on Fri Jan 31 10:30:26 EST 2014" snapshot for about three hours.

                    I don't know how apinger does the calculations but I had a lot of delay messages but without the 255 exit codes after this update.
                    I just deleted the gateway under Routing:Gateways and recreated it with another name.

                    Thanks!
