Configuration and Deployment of PingertoSmokePing
Prerequisite:
Depends on rrdtool version
...
1.2.12
...
or
...
newer
...
version
...
of
...
it.
...
Therefore
...
it
...
must
...
be
...
installed.
...
The
...
RRD
...
tool
...
is
...
already
...
installed
...
on
...
PingER
...
machine.
...
CGI Scripts
Graph.cgi
...
Configuration
...
Steps:
...
- I
...
- changed
...
- the
...
- following
...
- path
...
- to
...
- point
...
- to
...
- 'rrdtool'
...
- installation.
...
- The
...
- path
...
- should
...
- go
...
- up
...
- to
...
- the
...
- 'perl'
...
- directory
...
- as
...
- follows:
use lib "/afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/netmon/rrdtool/lib/perl/5.8.8";
...
use lib "/afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/netmon/rrdtool/lib/perl/5.8.8/i386_linux24";
...
The problem I faced with this is that it was unable to link the dynamic library (.so)
...
file
...
at
...
the
...
run
...
time
...
which
...
I
...
ran
...
it
...
from
...
Flora
...
but
...
when
...
I
...
ran
...
it from
PingER it worked fine. The problem was due to the fact that Flora is a 64 bit machine.
- I changed following link(present on line 58,252) to point to installation of Graph.cgi i.e http://www-dev.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/smokeping_graph.cgi
...
- I changed the following relative path to GraphCache from folder containg Graph.cgi:
my $imgsrc="$HOME/pinger_smokeping/html/GraphCache
...
where
...
$HOME
...
is
...
my
...
home
...
directory
...
where
...
the
...
project
...
is
...
placed.
...
Form.cgi
...
Displays
...
the
...
SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPings(maximum)
...
RRDs(data)
...
available
...
for
...
the
...
monitoring
...
site
...
or
...
node
...
slected
...
from
...
pingtable.pl
...
by
...
user.
...
Configuration
...
Steps:
...
- I
...
- changed
...
- the
...
- mainpath
...
- to
...
- point
...
- to
...
- the
...
- srcdest.txt
...
- file:
...
- my
...
- $mainpath="$HOME/pinger_smokeping/SRCDEST_FILE/srcdest.txt";
...
where $HOME is my home directory where the project is placed.
- I changed this path to point to the folder contaning the pinger.new.cf
...
- file:
...
- my
...
- $base_dir="$HOME/pinger_smokeping";
...
- I
...
- also
...
- had
...
- to
...
- put
...
- <HTML>
...
- nad
...
- <BODY>
...
- tags
...

I am facing lot of problems with this script. This script is called from the new version of Pingtable.pl but the problem is that it cannot find the
monitoring host. I think the problem is somewhere with the format of the monitorig site pingtable passes it (slac.stanford.edu)
...
and
...
the
...
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
*format in the text file is (pinger.slac.stanford.edu). I also tried to print the hash $NODE_DETAILS{$contents2\[1\]}\[1\] but it gave empty result.* |
...
Pingtable.pl
...
- I
...
- used
...
- the
...
- version
...
- provided
...
- with
...
- the
...
- distribution.
...
- I
...
- added
...
- this
...
- link
...
- to
...
- form.cgi
...
- Line
...
- 504:
- I also had to chage require statement at line 96 to point it to new pinger.new.cf require "$base_dir/pinger.new.cf";
...
- where
...
- $base_dir="/afs/slac/u/sg/shahryar/pinger_smokeping";
...
- Also the path of mon-lib.pl
...
- was
...
- changed
...
- in
...
- pinger.new.cf
...
- to
...
- point
...
- to
...
- the
...
- new
...
- mon-lib.
...
- pl
These three scripts are deployed at Test server which I guess is not accessable from outside world. These scripts are deployed at:
