Re: Slave/Master Again

Thank you Stephen and Tobi!  With Stephen's change to my secrets  
file, Tobi's patch, and an overridden host-name with the -s switch,  
my master/slave architecture now works.

Thanks a lot,
-Jeff T.

Smokeping 2.2.4 issues with multiple CGI's

Just installed Smokeping 2.2.4 with the javascript cropper.

I have two different CGI's pointing to 2 different configs in my cgi-bin directory.

One is called smokeping_w.cgi:

#!/opt/nms/perl/bin/speedy -- -M20 -t3600 -glatency -r500
Smokeping::cgi("/opt/nms_data/smokeping/cfgs/latency.cfg");

The other one is called smokeping_sitewatcher2_West3.cgi:

#!/opt/nms/perl/bin/speedy -- -M20 -t3600 -gswlatency -r500
Smokeping::cgi("/opt/nms_data/sitewatcher2/confs/sw2_West3.config");

When I launch smokeping_sitewatcher2_West3.cgi I get the correct web page.

When I launch smokeping_w.cgi I get an incorrect web page. I actually get the web page for
smokeping_sitewatcher2_West3.cgi.
The URL reads: http://cairvndmrtg3.nmc.xxxxxxx.com:8080/cgi-bin/smokeping_w.cgi

I don't have this issue with Somkeping 2.1.1. It looks like it's caching the config name somewhere. I have tried clearing the browser cache and restarting apache, all to no avail.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks, Vern Dias

Re: Smokeping 2.2.4 issues with multiple CGI's

Just installed Smokeping 2.2.4 with the javascript cropper.

OK, figured it out. In 2.2.4, two config files cannot share the same basepage template definition any longer.

Once I changed the basepage to a unique value, all was well.

smokeping System Availability email

I recently installed smokeping and have everything working; however there is one problem that I have not been able to resolve.

The digest email that is using HTML gets all of the formatting stripped in both Outlook, as well as Evolution. Am I missing a setting in the html to have it actually sent as HTML, and not plain text?

This is what I get as text in my mail clients..

I added the charset and encoding values myself, and it still just displays as straight text..

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii

Content-Transfer-encoding: 7bit

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" > <html> <head> <TITLE>DIA System Availability Report</TITLE> <STYLE TYPE ='text/css'> .appHeader {

color: #000000;

font-family: Arial, Sans-Serif;

font-size: 12px;

font-weight: bold;

padding-left: 10px;

padding-top: 7px;

border-width: 10px;

border-color: #FFFFFF;

Here is the initial attempt with defaults:

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: text/html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" > <html> <head> <TITLE>IT System Availability Report</TITLE> <STYLE TYPE ='text/css'> .appHeader {

color: #000000;

font-family: Arial, Sans-Serif;

font-size: 12px;

font-weight: bold;

padding-left: 10px;

padding-top: 7px;

border-width: 10px;

I've experienced the same behaviour and circumvented it by prepending
'$Body = "Content-Type: text/plain\n";' in morning_update() and
'"$Body = "Content-Type: text/html\n";' in weekly_update() as first
lines of the mail composition in bin/tSmoke. In addition to that
I've removed the two lines

< MIME-Version: 1.0
< Content-Type: text/html

from the tmail template.

I've used this with SmokePing 2.0.9 but it should work with the 
current release, too. Can't tell for sure as I don't use this
feature anymore.

Regards,
Roger

monitor response time from SAP systems

Hello, all!

I wonder, does anybody use Smokeping to monitor response time from SAP
systems? Is it possible?
I tried to search, but didn't get good results.

I want to monitor response from the remote SAP systems, where delays
from the network and from the system itself are combined, to have
general picture of the quality.

Best regards, Denis

Re: smokeping System Availability email

Thank you for the suggestion, but it did not do it for me.  I still
receive everything as raw text.  Do you have any other suggestions?  

I have been attempting to force this as well with boundaries and
alternative text with no success either.

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Navigator Graph intermittently fails to display on 2.2.4

There seems to be times when I left click to bring up the navigator graph and the navigator graph comes up for a second, then disappears. Clicking the refresh button on the brower refreshes and redisplays the graph and this time it stays visible.. I can still see the crosshairs when the cursor is positioned over where the graph should be displayed.

I am also seeing a Javascript error.

Line: 84
Char: 16
Error. 'undefined is null or not an object

Re: Satellite link - Packet Loss error

Hi Adrian,

We have Sat links that can be fairly high as well.
Usually between 600ms to 1700ms depending on conditions.

As I'm just setting up smokeping, I'm curious about the problem
your seeing and if you found a resolution.

If you still suspect fping, what version are you using?
I would also create a text file of the list of target hosts and 
feed it to fping to see how it responds.

Example:
fping -aef myhostlist.txt

sys1 (692 ms)
sys2 (832 ms)
sys3 (756 ms)
sys4 (819 ms)
sys5 (1092 ms)
sys6 (1375 ms)

So far I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary but again, I 
just got things setup.  

If it helps we are using fping version 2.4b2_to_ipv6 without debian patch.
