smokeping 2.6.8 for Centos 6.3

add rpmforge into your linux repo

yum install:

mod_fcgid
httpd
httpd-devel
rrdtool
perl-CGI-SpedtCGI
fping
perl-RRD-Simple
perl

# yum install mod_fcgid httpd httpd-devel rrdtool perl-CGI-SpeedCGI fping perl-RRD-Simple perl

# yum groupinstall "Development tools"

download the smokeping package from
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/

# wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.6.8.tar.gz

# tar -zxvf smokeping-2.6.8.tar.gz

# mv smokeping-2.6.8 /opt/smokeping

# cd smokeping-2.6.8

then manual install perl package manually

#perl -MCPAN -e shell

> install FCGI

> install CGI::Fast

> install Config::Grammar

> install Digest::HMAC_MD5

> install Net::Telnet

> install Net::OpenSSH

> install Net::SNMP

> install Net::LDAP

> install Net::DNS

> install IO::Pty

> install LWP

other from manually install, you can run the script locate at smokeping /opt/smokeping/setup

# cd /opt/smokeping/setup

# ./build-perl-modules.sh

after done, run to configure and make install

# cd /opt/smokeping

# ./configure --prefix=/opt/smokeping

# make install

now we go for preparing for the configuration file

# cd /opt/smokeping/etc

# for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done

#vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

change:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

to:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var smokeping.fcgi

then enable this

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/smokeping.conf

Options +ExecCGI

</Directory>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# mkdir /opt/smokeping/img

# chown -R apache:apache /opt/smokeping/img

# ln -s /opt/smokeping/htdocs /var/www/html/smokeping

# ln -s /opt/smokeping/img /var/www/html/smokeping

# mkdir /opt/smokeping/data

# mkdir /opt/smokeping/var

# chmod 600 /opt/smokeping/etc/smokeping_secrets

# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/smokeping

restart the httpd

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

edit the smokeping config to your need

# vim /opt/smokeping/etc/config

start the smokeping services
# ./bin/smokeping --config=/opt/smokeping/etc/config --logfile=smoke.log

** Ready to install Smokeping ******************************

Settings:

PERL5LIB = not set
PERL = /usr/bin/perl

The Smokeping Makefiles use GNU make functionality.
Continue installation with

/usr/bin/gmake install

Then, when i run make install, it shows me the problem as bellow.

[root@monitor2 smokeping]# make install
Making install in bin
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/smokeping/bin'
make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/smokeping/bin'
test -z "/opt/smokeping/bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/opt/smokeping/bin"
/usr/bin/install -c smokeinfo smokeping smokeping_cgi tSmoke '/opt/smokeping/bin'
/usr/bin/install: `smokeinfo' and `/opt/smokeping/bin/smokeinfo' are the same file
/usr/bin/install: `smokeping' and `/opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping' are the same file
/usr/bin/install: `smokeping_cgi' and `/opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi' are the same file
/usr/bin/install: `tSmoke' and `/opt/smokeping/bin/tSmoke' are the same file
make[2]: *** [install-dist_binSCRIPTS] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/smokeping/bin'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/smokeping/bin'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Something is missing. When I go to http:///smokeping/ I get this:

[TXT] Makefile 09-Nov-2012 19:02 14K
[TXT] Makefile.am 09-Nov-2012 18:59 1.5K
[TXT] Makefile.in 09-Nov-2012 18:59 13K
[DIR] cropper/ 09-Nov-2012 18:59 -
[DIR] img/ 09-Nov-2012 19:29 -

Where is the smokeping.cgi?

Also, what is this command supposed to do? We already have a link to /opt/smokeping/htdocs !
ln -s /opt/smokeping/img /var/www/html/smokeping

Ok, I managed to install smokeping correctly. This tutorial is good, but has some minor errors.

1st, disable SELinux:
setenforce 0

I used these commands, and it worked fine.

# wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.6.8.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf smokeping-2.6.8.tar.gz
# cd smokeping-2.6.8

# ./configure --prefix=/opt/smokeping
# make install

# cd /opt/smokeping/etc
# for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done

# cp /opt/smokeping/htdocs/smokeping.fcgi.dist /opt/smokeping/htdocs/smokeping.fcgi

# mkdir /opt/smokeping/cache
# chown -R apache.apache /opt/smokeping/cache
# ln -s /opt/smokeping/htdocs /var/www/html/smokeping
# ln -s /opt/smokeping/cache /var/www/html/smokeping/img
# ln -s /opt/smokeping/cache /var/www/html/smokeping/cache

# mkdir /opt/smokeping/data
# mkdir /opt/smokeping/var
# chmod 600 /opt/smokeping/etc/smokeping_secrets
# chown -R apache.apache /var/www/html/smokeping
