[smokeping-users] Smokeping Master/Slave Permission Problem

[Türker Karatepe]

Hello all,

I’m beginner on Smokeping and have some trouble with permission while building Master/Slave communication.  I can’t find the solution and i’m looking for help :)

I have a Master and its hostname Smokeping-Master. Fping, Dns, Curl, Radius and Ftp Probes works on it. The Slave (Smokeping-Slave) has just Fping and it works also. Both have same operating system Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64).  I’ll explain my steps at the below.

Configuration from Master;


1-      Slaves file;


root at Smokeping-Master:/etc/smokeping/config.d# vi Slaves
*** Slaves ***
secrets=/etc/smokeping/smokeping_secrets

+ Smokeping-Slave
display_name=Smokeping-Slave
location=Atakoy
color=ffff00


2-      smokeping-secrets file



Smokeping-Slave:AndItsPassword



3-      smokeping-secrets permissions


root at Smokeping-Master:/etc/smokeping# stat smokeping_secrets
                File: ‘smokeping_secrets’
                Size: 27              Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: fc00h/64512d    Inode: 2885373     Links: 1
Access: (0440/-r--r-----)  Uid: (  105/smokeping)   Gid: (  113/smokeping)

4-      Targets file

+ RootDNS
probe = FPing
title = Root DNS ICMP Latency
menu = Root DNS ICMP Latency
slaves = Smokeping-Slave

Configuration from Slave;


1-      First created secret.txt file at /var/smokeping and stats for this files and the below and its empty

root at Smokeping-Slave:/var# stat smokeping
  File: ‘smokeping’
  Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   directory
Device: fc00h/64512d    Inode: 1835652     Links: 2
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2014-06-26 11:01:20.583395412 +0300
Modify: 2014-06-26 10:20:03.707319328 +0300
Change: 2014-06-26 10:20:03.707319328 +0300

root at Smokeping-Slave:/var/smokeping# stat secret.txt
  File: ‘secret.txt’
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   regular empty file
Device: fc00h/64512d    Inode: 1836169     Links: 1

2-      Last step and permission error at this step.

root at Smokeping-Slave:/# cd /usr/sbin/
root at Smokeping-Slave:/usr/sbin#  ./smokeping --master-url=http://”Master’s IP”/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi \
>              --cache-dir=/var/smokeping/ \
>              --shared-secret=/var/smokeping/secret.txt
WARNING: Opening secrets file /etc/smokeping/smokeping_secrets: Permission denied

ERROR: we did not get config from the master. Maybe we are not configured as a slave for any of the targets on the master ?

Best Regards.
