The big visible difference between 1.38 and 1.40 is the new browser navigation feature: when clicking on the graphs in detail view you can select different time ranges for the graph. The creation of this feature has been sponsored by BeverlyCorp.com. Installing and configuring SmokePing. The installation is quite simple because SmokePing exists already in the package repository. To proceed, enter the command below.

This is a walkthrough on how to build a cheap and effecient latency monitor . It is built on a Raspberry Pi computer that is cheap (less than $70 for the mainboard, case, power supply, and storage device.) This setup will use less power than a normal computer (I measured my Raspberry Pi model B+ running at 3 watts!) That last thing I really like about this method of monitoring is that the Raspberry Pi is a completely solid state device, and as such it should last for many years beyond what a normal computer or server can function.

**Note: This guide assumes that you have a DHCP on your network and a functional internet connection.
