smokeping on debian

Installation 

apt-get install smokeping curl libauthen-radius-perl libnet-ldap-perl libnet-dns-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-telnet-perl libsocket6-perl libio-socket-inet6-perl apache2
  
Link in the smokeping apache config (apache2 was installed above as a req for smokeping)

#cd /etc/apache2/conf-available

#sudo ln -s ../../smokeping/apache2.conf smokeping.conf

Enable the config and mod_cgi

#sudo a2enconf smokeping 

#sudo a2enmod cgid 

#service apache2 reload

Configure

Edit the General Config file

#sudo vim /etc/smokeping/config.d/General

owner    = Some Org

contact  = org@gattis.org

mailhost = Server-ip

cgiurl   = http://Server-ip/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi

# specify this to get syslog logging

syslogfacility = local0

# each probe is now run in its own process

# disable this to revert to the old behaviour

# concurrentprobes = no

@include /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames

Edit the pathnames file. You must put in a value for sendmail (If you don't have it) so that smoke ping will run.

#sudo vim /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames

sendmail = /bin/false
imgcache = /var/cache/smokeping/images
imgurl = ../smokeping/images

...

...

Edit the Alerts
#sudo vim /etc/smokeping/config.d/Alerts

to = you@your.email.com
from = monitor-smokeping@your.email.com
#+someloss
#type = loss
# in percent
#pattern = >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%
#comment = loss 3 times  in a row
+rttdetect
type = rtt
#in milli seconds
#pattern = <10,<10,<10,<10,<10,<100,>100,>100,>100
pattern = <100,>100,>100,>100
comment = package loss

Edit the Targets

Add your own targets that you will measure by appending them to the bottom of the targets file. These will show up in a menu on the left of the generated web page. You add an entry starting with a + to create a top level entry, and subsequent lines with ++ that will show up as sub entries like so:

   + My Company
++ My Company's Web Server 1
++ My Company's Web Server 2

Actual config requires a few extra lines, as below;
#sudo vim /etc/smokeping/config.d/Targets

+ My_Company (Name no space)
menu = My Company  
title = My Company

++ Web_Server_1

menu = Web Server 1

title = Web Server 1

host = web.server.org

          alerts = someloss,rttdetect

Restart smokeping and apache #sudo service smokeping restart #sudo service apache2 reload
