* Ajax based ineractive graph zooming.
Click on any graph in detail mode and use the mouse to mark your area of
interest in navigator graph.
* Multi Target Graphs
Show information from multiple targts in a graph.
* Master/Slave setup for multi source smokeping deployments.
With one central Smokeping Master node, you can run a series of Slave nodes,
taking their configuration from the master. This allows you to ping a single
target from multiple locations.
* Standard Deviation
The standard deviation is now used in several places to give a number for
the variation in round trip times as depicted by the smoke.

SmokePing can measure latency, latency distribution and packet loss
in your network. SmokePing uses RRDtool to maintain a longterm datastore
and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the minute information
on the state of each network connection. SmokePing can also raise
alarms based on latency and loss patterns.
