How it works

SimpleSLA can handle ICMP checks and provide them to Prometheus with HTTP exporter. There are two ways to collect metrics: * Local device * Remote device

Local device

SimpleSLA creates local device by default and without any need to define it through config file. Local device has default name simplesla-local and that`s the ability to ping with ICMP packets right from the server or local PC with deployed SimpleSLA

Configuration of simplesla-local are described here

Remote device

SimpleSLA can connect to other devices and collect RTT to some destinations, that cannot be reachable right from SimpleSLA.

These some steps of check algorithm: 1. Connect to device 2. Send ping command in appropriate format 3. Recieve raw output 4. Parse raw output to some value 5. Push the value as a metric in Metric collector
