smokeping.cgi.dist(1)
NAME
smokeping.cgi - SmokePing webfrontend
OVERVIEW
This script acts as a 'website' for your SmokePing monitoring
operation. It presents the targets you are looking at in a tree
structure and draws graphs as they are required by people looking at
the pages.
DESCRIPTION
To get smokeping.cgi going, you need a webserver which allows you to
run cgi scripts. The system must be setup so that the smokeping.cgi is
allowed to write to the image caching area as defined in the config
file.
This script runs with normal perl. BUT it will appear to be very slow,
because it does a lot of things when starting up. So if the script has
to be started a fresh on every click, this is both slow and a tough
thing for your webserver. I therefore strongly recomment using
SpeedyCGI.
Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup
instructions.
SETUP
- When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to fit your
local system. Three paths have to be entered. - use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);
- One pointing to your rrdtool installation
use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);- One pointing to the place where you have installed the SmokePing
libraries
use Smokeping;- Smokeping::cgi("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");
- The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::cgi command. It points to the SmokePing configuration file.
