Hi.

I found the problem - I'd love to say that it was by design, but more a coincidence.

I stumbled on the properties of the graphics - the path was a URL where the smokeping server was referenced with its hostname only, not IP or FQDN. This cannot be resolved in my new environment. After some searching I found the setting in the top of the smokeping config file - along with the definitions of the monitored hosts:
# NOTE: do not put the Image Cache below cgi-bin
# since all files under cgi-bin will be executed ... this is not
# good for images.
imgcache = /var/www/html/smokeping/img
imgurl   = http://10.XXX.XXX.91/smokeping/img
datadir  = /usr/local/smokeping/var
piddir  = /usr/local/smokeping/var
cgiurl   = http://10.XXX.XXX.91/smokeping.cgi
smokemail = /usr/local/smokeping/etc/smokemail
tmail = /usr/local/smokeping/etc/tmail
# specify this to get syslog logging

When I swapped the hostname for the IP it work fine - and much quicker too.

There are no 404's though, because I get the sidebar with the list of monitored hosts, but just the "broken page" icon on the right:

I think you must have set up web server incorrectly. Here's some bits of my apache vhost config

        DocumentRoot /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs
        <Directory      /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs>
                Options +ExecCGI
                Addhandler fcgid-script *
                Order           allow,deny
                Allow from      192.168.0.0/24<http://192.168.0.0/24>
                DirectoryIndex  smokeping.fcgi
        </Directory>

        Alias   /cache   /usr/local/smokeping/cache
        <Directory      /usr/local/smokeping/cache>
                Allow from      all
        </Directory>

That should stop a bunch of the 404s. Don't forget to kill all the fcgi processes after reloading apache ("apachectl graceful" for example).

what do you see in the web logs when using a "broken" browser?

Subject: [smokeping-users] master/slave questions
Message-ID: <87vbtyspgt.fsf@snoopy.tippete.net>


Hello,
I've managed to get 2 smokepings working as master and slave. I see the
graphs from both the master and the slave and all seems working
fine. Now it comes the time to do some tweaking:

1) in the overview graphs, I can change the colour for the slaves, but I
can't find the corresponding command for the master. Is it possible to
tweak the master graph colours?

2) in the individual graphs, I see the slave as e.g. "Last 3 hours from
Hong Kong", but the master only has "Last 3 hours". Is there a way to
specify the display_name for the master in the individual graphs? oddly,
this works for the overview graphs, but not for the individual ones (the
colour legend properly puts the master's display name inside the graph)

3) I was hoping to be able to provide some sort of separate views for
each slave, instead of having them all in the same page for each
target. Is this something that can be achieved with hieararchies?

Thanks

Pf
