Hi,

I'm using ping_exporter (thanks for this tool!). On generated graph I can see this output about packet loss packet_loss

In the same time (between 10:38 and 11:08) I have a ping command pointing to the same IP address and I have only 2 ping with no answer:

Fri Oct 27 10:58:23 CEST 2023: no answer yet for icmp_seq=260 Fri Oct 27 11:06:50 CEST 2023: no answer yet for icmp_seq=767

My question is: How ping_exporter is able to generate graph (like screenshot) if there is only 2 ping with no answer?

Maybe ping command is not showing the same output than ping_exporter ?

Sorry if i'm not clear ....

Thanks!
