From gregs at sloop.net Tue Nov 1 05:14:34 2011 From: gregs at sloop.net (Gregory Sloop) Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:14:34 -0700 Subject: [smokeping-users] Textual data / Raw data export. Message-ID: <994468240.20111031211434@sloop.net> Is there some easy way to get, say the last x hours of smokepings RRD data - ie. via a web form? I'm sure I could construct a query that would pull the RRD data, but that means I have to be on the SP console, and it's a lot less friendly than a web-tool. Sometimes I want to submit data to an ISP or a client, for example, and hard data, rather than a graph, or perhaps as a supplement to it, would be nice.

I am NOT a great coder - I simply don't have the patience. [I'm much more of a sysadmin kind of guy.] But I can probably stumble my way through. However, I'd love someone to ask questions of, and who will look over the code and help me make it better. I've already written a perl script to handle alerts from outside smokeping to send mail via non-local SMTP servers, via non-standard SMTP ports, using SMTP-Auth etc. Pretty simple really. But now I want to add the logic for alert squelching that Mon uses too. Is ANYONE even interested in this feature, and is anyone willing to take a bit of time to assist me? If not writing any code yourself, reviewing my code and making suggestions? Based on response from the community and how life gets crazy or not, I'll consider moving forward on this... TIA -Greg [* more like stealing code from Mon and porting it so smokeping can use it... But hey, Mon is already in Perl, and it looks reasonably well documented. I'd guess any average dolt should be able to do it, and I'm at least an average dolt...

I have it working now. There were two separate issues. The first one was that SELinux was not allowing PERL to access the image folder. Changing the Current Enforcing Mode to Permissive resolved that issue. If anyone knows how to enable this while still keeping it in Enforcing mode I am interested in changing it. The second issue is that when Smokeping installed (i used System->Administration->Add/Remove Software) it installed with different settings in /etc/smokeping/config and /etc/httpd/conf.d/smokeping.conf. Below are the final settings I used in each file. /etc/smokeping/config imgcache = /var/cache/smokeping/ imgurl = /smokeping /etc/httpd/conf.d/smokeping.conf alias /smokeping /var/cache/smokeping Order deny,allow Deny from all Options None Allow from 127.0.0.1 Order deny,allow Deny from all AddHandler cgi-script cgi Allow from 127.0.0.1 Thanks for the reply.

I don't know if you can do exactly that, but you can probably use the master to ping just one node and ignore the results. The reason I say this is that I've had problems with the Smokeping/Apache CGI spinning at 100% CPU when it can't find some master data to graph. This would happen when trying to produce the full page of graphs for one node, it would be fine on showing the synopsis for several nodes. I don't know if I've just been careless, or unlucky, or if it's, er, a feature, but it's happened more than once on different installations. If I'd had the time to investigate I'd have spent some time creating a test setup to repeat it, but in each case I've been more concerned about getting the monitoring up and running than with debugging the tools so I simply fixed it. If anyone wants to try it, I'd suggest pointing the CGI scripts to the wrong directory for the collected data or something like that. -- 73, Ged.

Hello Rodney; I've found (by accident) that you can trick smokeping.cgi into dumping the graph invocation by passing it an incorrect slave parameter, e.g. on the demo site, hitting this URL: http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping-demo/?target=Customers.OP.johan~otoro ...will throw an error that includes the all of the RRDs::graph commands that would have been used to generate the images. I'm not sure offhand how compatible the syntax is with rrdgraph directly, but it should give you a general idea of what's happening under the hood. I'm curious as to why you want to create the graphs manually; are you aware that you can generate the graphs on the command line by invoking smokeping in static mode (using --static, naturally)? -tt > ________________________________ > From: Darren Murphy > To: Rodney Machado > Cc: "smokeping-users at lists.oetiker.ch" > Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2011 1:41 PM > Subject: Re: [smokeping-users] smokeping styled graphs from command line > > Hi Rodney, > > The RRDTool docs have a very good tutorial, that includes a section on > generating graphs. > See http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/tut/rrdtutorial.en.html > > That would probably be the best place to start. > > You'll also find the rrdtool graph manual at > http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html > > And there are also some good examples at > http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph_examples.en.html > > cheers, > Darren > > On 24 November 2011 02:26, Rodney Machado wrote: >> Hi, >> I have been using smokeping for a while, now I'm trying to create smokeping >> styled graphs directly from the ".rrd" files using rrdtool graph command, >> but untill now I have not been able to figure it out. >> Does anyone have an idea what the syntax should be? >> best regards, >> --RM >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> smokeping-users mailing list >> smokeping-users at lists.oetiker.ch >> https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users >> >> >> >> >> This body part will be downloaded on demand.

I will give a try, it seems that indeed I can extract the right sintax from that error output. ? Now the answer to the why question. The thing here is that I want to have smokeping type of graphs available within Cacti (http://www.cacti.net). There have been a couple implementation of SmokepingLike graphs for Cacti, but, for me after reading the code and how the graph magic have been done, the truth is that they are not close enough to the original smokeping so I decided to write a graph template for Cacti that can produce something more similar to smokeping. ?

At the moment you don't know 1. if the pings leave the sending box, 2. if they arrive at the recipient box, 3. if they are replied to by the recipient, and if they are replied to, you don't know 4. if the replies reach the pinging box. You need to narrow it down. Start by putting some instrumentation in the system. Probably the first thing I'd do is run 'tcpdump' on all the appropriate boxes. -- 73, Ged.

If I fping myself from the same host to the same destination then I see the echo request and the echo reply. The only thing I can see different in the dump is that the sequence number is different. The device I'm pinging is a check point firewall. Maybe it doesn't like that the sequence number is out of sequence or something. When I fping with 10 packets the sequence numbers are 0 through 9. When Smokeping does it's thing the sequence numbers are incremented for each device pinged. I'll see if I can enable some logging on the FW for this ping traffic.
