lets start up by install needed package
before that, we will need to enable Epel repo
You can install EPEL by running yum install epel-release. The package is included in the CentOS Extras repository, enabled by default.
# yum install epel-release
Then follow up by the package for
- mod_fcgid
- httpd
- httpd-devel
- rrdtool
- perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI
- fping
- rrdtool-perl
- perl
- perl-Sys-Syslog
# yum install mod_fcgid httpd httpd-devel rrdtool perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI fping rrdtool-perl perl perl-Sys-Syslog
Then we will needed some package for Cpan to install perl stuff
# yum install perl-CPAN perl-local-lib perl-Time-HiRes
The last one is the package to create installation for smokeping
# yum groupinstall "Development tools"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now lets download the latest smokeping at http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/
currently the latest i saw is 2.6.9, so i just download that
# wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.6.9.tar.gz
then extract it
# tar -zxvf smokeping-2.6.9.tar.gz
Install the smokeping perl stuff
# cd smokeping-2.6.9/setup
# ./build-perl-modules.sh
it will auto install needed perl
Once done, back to smokeping-2.6.9 folder and you will notice a folder name thirdparty is created
we will need to move it to /opt folder, but before that, lets create smokeping folder at /opt first
then copy the thirdparty folder into it
# mkdir /opt/smokeping
# cp -r thirdparty /opt/smokeping/
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/smokeping
# make install
~ NOTE ~
if you encounter problem, please try make install again
this is because for my situation when i first make install, it pop some error but when i try make install again, the error gone
Now you can go to /opt/smokeping/etc and prepare the config file
# cd /opt/smokeping/etc
# for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now is time to prepare for the interface
make sure you had install apache
else please install it using yum install httpd
#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
<Directory "/var/www/html/smokeping">
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
--------------------------------
# mkdir /opt/smokeping/img
# mkdir /opt/smokeping/data
# mkdir /opt/smokeping/var
# mkdir /opt/smokeping/cache
# chown -R apache:apache /opt/smokeping/img
# chown -R apache:apache /opt/smokeping/cache
# ln -s /opt/smokeping/htdocs /var/www/html/smokeping
# ln -s /opt/smokeping/img /var/www/html/smokeping

# chmod 600 /opt/smokeping/etc/smokeping_secrets
# chmod 600 /opt/smokeping/etc/smokeping_secrets.dist
# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/smokeping
Before we start smokeping, please edit your configuration first
edit the smokeping config to your need (change the part in Red color word
# vim /opt/smokeping/etc/config

For mine, i had turn off my firewalld as it was mean for private LAN
# systemctl stop firewalld
and i also had turn SeLinux
# setenforce 0
Start the apache service
# systemctl start httpd
start the smokeping services
# ./bin/smokeping --config=/opt/smokeping/etc/config --logfile=smoke.log
For startup script
you can get it from here
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/contrib/smokeping-start-script
just edit the smokeping path
then put at /etc/init.d/
chmod 755 it
this is because for my situation when i first make install, it pop some error but when i try make install again, the error gone
Now you can go to /opt/smokeping/etc and prepare the config file
