PingER SmokePing Integration aims at using Smokepings's rrd tool to visually display pingER's data in the form of graphs.

Modules	Function
SelectConvSrcDest1.pm	This program is to be setup as a cron job to run every 24 hours (after installing on a server with a PingER data source) This script is to be run once the data for all sources have been brought to the server from various monitoring sites using getdata.pl. This program finds unique SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPings(maximum) combinations and creates a srcdest.txt file agaist each combination. It calls the PingERtoSmokeping application to convert the data agaist each of the unique SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPings(maximum) combinations found.
PingERtoSmokeping.pm	PingERtoSmokeping.pm is a tool to convert PingER data files into Smokeping data files. The output of this program is an rrd file for a SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPing combination present in a PingER data file. This tool does not take any arguments from command line.
Configuration files	Function
srcdest.txt	The file that stores unique SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPings(maximum) combinations found in PingER data.
CGIs	Function
form.cgi	Displays the SourceSite_DestinationSite_PacketsSize_NumberOfPings(maximum) RRDs(data) available for the monitoring site or node slected from pingtable.pl by user.
graph.cgi	Generates graphs from the rrd files on the fly and display them to the user and then deletes the graph from cache
saveimage.cgi	Displays the contents of the image to the user
