Smokeping process terminating after awhile

I have a RH9 machine that is running smokeping with a init.d script.
This works fine except for one small problem, smokeping terminates after a 
few hours
leaving my graphs full og huge gaps. It often leaves behind the 
speedy_backend scritps
running but not the actual perl process nor does it work.
Logs tell me nothing so I'm at a loss.
I'm running two machines both on RH9 with the same setup and the other one 
works fine.

Anyone encountered this problem?

alert for echoping http

Hello,

I'm trying to setup an alert for echoping http - is there a specific syntax to use? I'm not sure what is
returned (e.g. would >10% be a legitimate thing to measure for an echoping http probe?)

I'm running it on a laptop that is too slow to run apache etc - the purpose for is it to page someones cell phone
when a particular website stops responding
however, the alert doesn't seem to be working, and I'm not sure if it's because I've written it incorrectly.

Before I start messing around trying to figure it out, I was just wondering if someone has done this in the past.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

EchoPingHttp probs

I've tried to setup smokeping to monitor some web sites, I started out 
w/ google but have not gotten anywhere.  The graphs are generated but 
they have no data in them

Below are the relvant sections, I'm running smokeping 1.26

*** Probes ***

+ EchoPingHttp

binary = /usr/local/bin/echoping

*** Targets ***

+ World

menu = World
title = Worldwide Connectivity

++ PROBE_CONF
url = /
ignore_cache = yes
revalidate_data = no
port = 80
timeoute = 50

++ Google

probe = EchoPingHttp
menu = Google

problem with LDAP probe

Hello!

If I add LDAP probe to config as
+ LDAP

then I can't  see results in .cgi:

Can't locate Encode/ConfigLocal.pm in  <at> INC ( <at> INC contains: .. 
/usr/local/smokeping/lib /var/adm/perl-modules 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi/Encode.pm line 52.

Looks very  strange...

Any ideas?

1.26 execution errors

I installed the 1.26 version from the FreeBSD ports collection.  My previous version was working just fine,
however, after installing the port, I receive the following error when trying to run it:

[S: root <at> arthur: /home/archon] # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smokeping.sh start
Not enough arguments for mkdir at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/Smokeping.pm line 1971, near "$dir unless"
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/smokeping line 6.
[S: root <at> arthur: /home/archon] #

Unfortunately, I'm way too Perl clueless to even begin to try to fix this.  Any suggestions on what this
error may be?

yes, perl 5.006 in freebsd wants a second argument for mkdir
along the lines ...

mkdir $file, 0755

or you could just use the latest release ...

Take a look at my rudamentary init in this rpm package and let us know
if your have any improvements.

http://www.GreenKey.net/~curtis/rpm/noarch/smokeping-1.27-gk1.noarch.rpm

The rpm was built on Valhalla (rh7.3) but I've had it running on Shrike
(rh9) for many months without issue. It also ensures you have the proper
dependencies.

Requires:	perl >= 5.6.1
Requires:	rrdtool >= 1.0.33-1gk2
Requires:	fping >= 2.4b2
Requires:	echoping >= 4.2.0
Requires:	webserver
Requires:	net-tools
Requires:	perl(Net::SMTP)
Requires:	perl-PersistentPerl

Enjoy!

Hi,

	are you aware that you need to run the smokeping as a daemon as well as
the CGI? The daemon is responsible for the measurements.

If you are running the daemon but aren't getting any data, look at the 
syslog output and/or try running the daemon in debug mode ('-debug' option.)

HTH,

RE : Re: EchoPingHttp probs

Hi,
You cannot measure google.com with echoping probe because the www.google.com
isn't a "real" website; it does only redirect you to an other google web
server.

#/opt/echoping/bin/echoping -A -a -h / www.google.com
HTTP error "HTTP/1.1 302 Found
"
#/opt/echoping/bin/echoping -A -a -h / www.google.fr
Elapsed time: 0.157536 seconds
#

Before monitor a web site, run manually echoping because sometimes you have
this kind of error or this "HTTP error "HTTP/1.1 302 Object Moved" when the
website is directly redirect to an other.

Cheers,
Gaetan
