Is there a way to avoid making probes from the master server and have only probes from the slave? When I told my slave to get probes to some server the master host is also doing the probes, is it possibe to avoid this? </pre> Tomek Wałaszek 2013-05-07T19:51:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.smokeping.user/5145 <pre> But it usen't to be that way, I think it has changed some time ago? I  remember the "port" option was actually working.  And, Lars mentiones a ~/.ssh/ directory, but user "smokeping" doesn't seem to have a /home/smokeping directory? If so, that means we have to change the system ssh_config file (the one in /etc/ssh/ directory)?

In order to help me to configure it, I've developed a Django application. The main objective was to allow users to add targets without give us the right to edit the file manually. One other goal was to have an API to do some automation, what Django offer natively. I've mainly developed the app to support Smokeping master/slave configuration but basic configuration works fine. You can find the application on GitHub: https://github.com/julcollas/django- smokeping I'd really like to have your feedbacks.

I'm monitoring around 300 wan links with fping probe with no problem. I have tuned smokeping to get more information I have added a plugin to show the lasts median rtt in a gauges view and a link to show the information about the route of each wan links and record the changes in the routes. Now I want to create a report to monitoring the packet loss in the last ten day and send a mail with the graph of the links that have a packet loss greater than 5% per example. How can i get this value for the .rrd files? I've been inspected the rrd files but I just see the last loss value.

However, when I installed the two instances of smokeping, on their respective servers, they installed with different uids &amp; gids to each other. I elected to amend the uid &amp; gid of the 'master' instance, to bring them in line with each other, because the corresponding uid &amp; gid was already in use on the 'slave' system. The first problem I'm now experiencing is that when I add a new target to the master system the new location folder and rrds within are created with the old(original) gid, which no longer has any group associated with it. When I manually correct the gid/group ownership the new targets work ok. The second problem is that when a new target is added, smokeping sets (or attempts to set) the folder and rrd user and group ownership to the smokeping user &amp; group but for smokeping to work properly with slaves the htmld/apache user needs access - in my case I'm setting the group ownership to the apache group i.</pre> Lee Elliott 2013-04-18T09:51:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.smokeping.user/5125 <pre>Any idea why I'm not getting any alerts at all in /var/log/messages or any emails? I was getting alerts earlier and I must have changed something to mess it up. Any idea where to look would be much appreciated.

I am a new member that discovered this AWESOME tool today. I m going to use it at every customer that I ll visit for sure because it gives so much visibility on the network. I am a network engineer located in Switzerland and specialized into Routing/Switching , Security and also VoIP. I have very small experience with Linux so please forgive me for that :) I have been running Smokeping on Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS 64 bit today and I would like to implement the Master/Slave topology I understood from the documentation that the slave will get his configuration from the master here is what I did : - Install Smokeping on both server: I got graphs working to the localhost so hence the RDD is OK - MASTER Created */etc/smokeping/slavesecrets.conf *and /etc/smokeping/slave-secrets did a vim on slavesecrets and added the key : test did a vim on slave-secret and added the text : ubuntu.local:test Modified the /etc/smokeping/Slave to have the +slave display_names=ubuntu text. color=blablabla Modified </pre> Trash NMICHEL 2013-04-10T21:10:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.smokeping.user/5106 <pre>Just ran across this one today. Had a rasp-pi slave - and forgot to resize the disk and ran it out of disk space. I resolved the disk-space error, but smokeping wouldn't run. When, when trying to start smokeping in slave mode I kept getting this error: "Can't kill a non-numeric process ID at /usr/share/perl5/Smokeping.pm line 3657." That would cause smokeping to fall over and not run. After doing some tinkering, it appeared to be something wrong with the --cache-dir. So short and sweet version is: Rather than trying a bunch of stuff, I just deleted everything in the cache-dir and tried again. Everything ran fine then. [Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!] So, just in case someone else runs across the same error, there's a start. -Greg _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list smokeping-users&lt; at &gt;lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users </pre> Gregory Sloop 2013-04-03T22:06:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.smokeping.user/5101 <pre>To please GW for my off-topic offense of yesterday, here's one that's on-topic! :) Is there any way to have notification if a slave doesn't check in or report results for a set period of time? By notification, I mean something better than manually parsing the logs or looking at a graph to see if any results are there... If no, any suggestions on how best to accomplish this, if I wanted to take it on? [This becomes more of a priority since I now have a "fleet" of slaves I want to be sure don't fall off line without my noticing.] -Greg </pre> Gregory Sloop 2013-04-03T15:13:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.smokeping.user/5093 <pre>Hi Everyone, Is there a way to use somkeping for tnsping an Oracle instance?

So, since TCPPing is building a TCP link [via SYN/RST] - I'd assume that low level packet loss that might be seen in an UDP/ICMP ping won't be present in a TCPPing, right? Now if the loss is quite large [my guess is at least 15% or more] you'll see some of that packet loss in the TCPPing probe too. [Though I'd expect the level of loss to be lower since the TCP stack is handling loss and doing re-transmits in the background.] It's only when the packet loss rate is such that TCP can't handle the loss internally and starts being unable to handle re-transmission before timeout that you'd see actual loss on a TCPPing. Do I have this right, or should I go back to huffing glue? -Greg _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list smokeping-users&lt; at &gt;lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users </pre> Gregory Sloop 2013-04-02T16:28:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.smokeping.user/5090 <pre>Hi folks I would like to dynamically add and remove hosts to be monitored from a remote server. I have reviewed the code and although the dynamic host feature comes close to what I am looking for by supporting the update of host addresses, it does not support the addition of hosts from what I can tell. Currently the best thing I can think of is a script (invoked through CGI or SSH) that writes config stanzas to some file or directory (e.g. /var/lib/smokeping/targets) and then issues a reload, with that file or directory &lt; at &gt;included from the /etc/config file. Is there a better way to do this?

During my configuration, I ran into an issue that looks a bug. I configured smokeping to connect to my master that has only an IPv6 address. At startup, I get this error: WARNING Master said 500 Can't connect to gold.example.net:80 (Bad hostname) I then configured Slave to connect to a master that has both v4 and v6 address and the connection worked. Watching the connection, I see that it connected over v4, not v6 as it should prefer to.

As a FYI: I'm a consultant and need to monitor both external facing connects as well as internal systems for multiple clients. I've played with running the Pi's as full masters, with MRTG and Nagios running. They can do it, at least for smaller installations. [Over-clocking them helps some] But the Pi's are pretty CPU maxed. If you drop Nagios, it gets much better... --- However, running smokeping as slave, and using SSH tunnels back to the "mother-ship" allows me to see all the sites in one central location, and secure the communication channel easily. [SSH is easier than building OpenVPN pipes or something.] I also use Nagios on the main master system to do alerts should smokeping results fall into criteria that need attention.
