running on a heterogeneous environment

Hello all,

I am running a master on linux and a slave on windows. So far so good. Don't
ask why I do this, it's been a major nightshift to get this far.

When the windows smokeping installation runs standalone (no master slave)
everything is fine but when I run in slave mode on windows I get:

FPing: probing 5 targets...
FPING: Executing /usr/bin/fping -C 20 ... and so on

Yielding a nice

'Ping: Got fping output: 'The system cannot find the specified path'

Any ideas how to force smokeping to use the local configured path for fping
(c:/smokeping/bin/fping.exe) instead of the one sent over by the master
(/usr/bin/fping)?

Re: running on a heterogeneous environment

There is an '++override' option in the config of the master to override
the path of any binary being run.

I use the following on my linux master to direct my OSX slaves to their
local fping.

+mmon1-a
display_name=mmon1-a
color=00ff00
++override
Probes.FPing.binary = /opt/local/sbin/fping
(and so forth for each slave)

Perhaps you can massage that in a way that works for you?

Has anyone gotten Multiple Target Graphs to work with TCPPing probes? (Smokeping 2.004002)

When I throw my slave server into debug mode, I see why it can't do the
multi-target graphs with TCPPing since that module takes only one IP as a
target, yet the master sends it the multiple IPs along the one command line
(which works fine with FPing).

Has anyone gotten this to work with the TCPPing probe?

Smoketrace installation.

Hi All,

I have installed Smokeping 2.3.0-1 on my Ubuntu Hardy system. Smokeping and its pre-requisites have been installed using the debian repository files. It is working nicely.

I need to install Smoketrace on this machine.I followed the link http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smoketrace.en.html, but, I could not find the directories mentioned on my system.

Is there any other way of installing it?

Thanks,

Jimmy

remOcular - what tobi has been up to ...

Over the last few weeks I have spent a lot of time hacking on a new
project

   remOcular - your eyes in the cloud

The first test version is now online on

   http://tobi.oetiker.ch/test/remocular/build/

remOcular is an indirect decendent of SmokeTrace. It can run comand
line tools remotely and provides a live presentation of their
output in the webbrowser.

remOcular ...

 . has a very powerful api for writing new backend plugins to integrate
   additional command lined tools. Developement time for a new
   plugin can be as little as 10 minutes.

 . consists of a simple backend written in perl and a interactive
   frontend written in pure qooxdoo javascript.

 . can show nifty inline graphs using canvas
   graphics (only with ff, chrome, safari, opera)

 . will be released as GPL opensource software in the next few
   days.

cheers
tobi

Multiple graphs on one page

Hi everybody,
I've read through a lot of configuration examples and searched the archives but I can't seem to find a
definite answer
to this.

I'm trying to create an overview page in Smokeping that should contain Multiple graphs (for different hosts).
I don't want them all bundled to a single graph with multiple lines, since they have very different response times
and it doesn't work quite well on a single graph.

Can anybody give me an example on how to do this correctly ?

My config is something like:
+ Servers
menu = Servers

++ Server1
host = server1

++ Server2
host = server2

++ Server3
host = server3

Now when i click the "Servers" link in the tree, i just get an empty page but the tree expands and I can see links
for the servers.

Thanks in advance
-Arni

Running a script on Smokeping alert

Is there any documentation for having Smokeping run an external script when an alert is triggered? Mailing list searches make me thing people are doing it, but I'm having trouble figuring out how.

Re: Running a script on Smokeping alert

It's documented, search for 'pipe' in the manual:

Re: Running a script on Smokeping alert

Does any one have an example of this, the documentation is VERY confusing. I am attempting to use this to send
alerts to syslog.

Thanks,
Shane
