This ZenPack contains a template that should be valuable for anyone running a network where latency is crucial.

• An "overall" graph representing latency and loss
• A basic packet loss graph
• A graph showing min and max deviation from the average response time
• A graph showing number of pings sent, received, and lost

• fping has to be installed in /usr/sbin (or you need to change the Cmd field accordingly)
• sed has to be installed in /bin (or you need to change the Cmd field accordingly)
• the ping count "totals" aren't accurate, they need to be divided by 60 (the time step) but I haven't figured out how
• I should probably consolidate the graphs because some of the data is redundant
• I didn't include any thresholds because that seems very environment-specific
