I am forking this question from the "high ping times" issue because they are separate thoughts.

  1. Could flent charts use the --test-parameter=ping_hosts=... instead of values from the -H host?

Well, it should probably show both by default. For now, there's a separate plot type you can use to see the extra flows (-p ping_extra). I don't see how to use the -p option. When I use it in flent --gui -p ping_extra ...filename.gz I see the following message:

From the GUI the ping_extra plot should be selectable in the plot selection box once you've loaded the data file...

I do not see a plot selection box (although I once did in earlier runs). I create the ping_hosts using this command:

flent -x -H netperf.bufferbloat.net -t "netperf.bufferbloat.net" --te=ping_hosts=gstatic.com --te=download_streams=4 tcp_ndown

I then display the GUI with the following:

bash-3.2$ flent --gui ./tcp_ndown-2019-09-10T105028.665390.netperf_bufferbloat_net.flent.gz
Started Flent 1.3.0 using Python 2.7.15.
Initialised matplotlib v2.2.4 on numpy v1.16.5.
qt.qpa.cocoa.window: Window position outside any known screen, using primary screen
GUI loaded. Running on PyQt v5.9.2.
<close GUI window>
bash-3.2$

Might the Python error message influence the appearance of the plot selection box? Thanks.
