An earnest appeal - please do fix APINGER in 2.2

Use the first one thats not in your WAN subnet.

It's not within pfsense, and not done automaticly either?
-
I understand why you are confused…
I use traceroute to monitor the wanted IP upstream to decide if the GW is down.
I use traceroute to locate the IP to monitor and then use the built in GW monitor tool in PFSense.
Works fine here.

OK, I did that several months ago, and with no use.
The next hop routers are always outside my wan subnet:(Thanks anyway.

I've been running into quite a few problems with apinger in the 2.1 series with a simple single wan configuration.
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3692
I was thinking that I would try to debug it and went looking for the source code to apinger but wasn't able to find it in the 2.1.5 main or packages. Can someone send me a pointer to it?
Thanks

The source code is in the pfsense-tools repo. You must complete a couple of electronic documents in order to access it. Access is controlled via SSH public keys. It is based off the FreeBSD port here: http://www.freshports.org/net/apinger/
Information on what is required to get access is posted in a Sticky Thread at the top of the Development sub-forum here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76132.0.

Thanks. I downloaded what I thought was the packages distribution from
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/releases/tag/RELENG_2_1_5
but apinger wasn't in there. Is there a different repo?
-
the packages repo is only for optional addons. (stuff that is not included in a base-install from CD)
i believe bmeeks said in which repo you can find apinger, and how to access it

Correct. It's in the pfsense-tools repo which is NOT hosted on Github directly. It's hosted on a server operated by the pfSense team and you must follow the instructions in the link I posted above to gain access to the repo.

I pushed a fix.
Please try with next snapshots and see if you still get the same issues.

Still broken for me. :( See attachment. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide.

Any update on the matter ?
My box just went dark after apinger decided that the wan is not up and then remained stuck with a cpu load of 99% denying to be restarted.
-
APINGER does't cope well with my WAN flapping whenever this happens my HENET ipv6 gateway starts reporting loss forever even though the ipv6 tunnel is backup and stable!
-
why wouldn't adding some other methods of detection be a good idea had a xincom (same as syswan) that did 3 different means of detection (imcp ping, http heartbeat, traffic flow, DPD
(RFC3706) ) years ago the was like a $250 router which was nice cause my isp use to block imcp -
+1
This is a quite annoying issue.and the outcome in my case is a nonfunctional apinger with miles of logentries like: apinger: No usable targets found, exiting

I'm having better luck with the 9/15 build. I am not sure if something changed between 9/13 and 9/15 that would have affected apinger, but the status seems to be working better. Still not 100% correct though. Before, the connection would show insanely high RTT in the console; now, that isn't the case. However, when I look at the logs I am getting a lot of apinger "down" log messages.

Nevermind. I've been checking it off and on and haven't seen it go "Latency" or "Offline" today. It finally did. Typical stuck at really high RTT and jumps between latency and offline. I got too excited considering it hadn't gotten "stuck" for nearly a day. :(
-
Still no luck with Sep 14 09:09:38 CDT 2014 build, two pppoe links are online before my isp resets my connections, after the reset, default gw gets online normally, but the opt1 gets stuck although the link reconnected successfully.
And the OPT1 gets online again after I restart apinger.
-
Ok can you please try next snapshots.
I put a fix for recovering from down state. -
It definitely appears to recover better now than it ever did before. As you can tell from times on screenshots below, I did successfuly recover from a "down" state. You do occasionally catch it in a down state in the GUI when it isn't really down. Also, still getting the APINGER down log messages, but I assume that is normal?
