Hi,<br>
<br>
see <a href="http://collectd.org/faq.shtml" target="_blank">http://collectd.org/faq.shtml</a><br>
<br>
I try to use the ping-plugin, but keep getting the message<br>
"`ping_host_add' failed.". What's the matter?<br>
In order to generate ICMP packets one needs to open a so called "RAW<br>
socket". On most UNIX systems only the superuser (root) may open such<br>
sockets.<br>
In addition, some virtualization environments, such as VServer and<br>
Solaris Zones have been reported to cause some trouble.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Simon<br>
