traceroute_check number of paths is Avg #18

Hello Andy,

It would be nice to have the traceroute nagios check evaluation not based on the Average, but on the Max value. Here is an example of the output:

PS_CHECK_TRACEROUTE OK - Average number of paths is 1.000 | Count=2;; Min=1;; Max=1;; Average=1;; Standard_Deviation=0;;

This is probably worth looking at for a future release. I don't know how much thought went into the current behavior.

As discussed: In practice there is no issue around the calculation of the number of the paths. The implementation does account for the number of various paths discovered during the specified / assessed period with collected measurements. There is only one value provided, which essentially means AVG = MIN = MAX.
