  Description     : Prometheus style "smokeping" prober

This prober sends a series of ICMP (or UDP) pings to a target and records
the responses in Prometheus histogram metrics. The resulting metrics are
useful for detecting changes in network latency (or round trip time), as
well as packet loss over a network path.

I have been using smokeping_prober for a little over a year, and think
it would be of interest to others as a Debian package. I will
co-maintain this package as part of the Debian Go Team. Benjamin Drung
