[smokeping-users] FreeBSD slave configuration --> Automatic boot at startup

[Seth Lyons]

/etc/rc.local is deprecated.  FreeBSD’s rc infrastructure can be used to start smokeping by adding a few lines to /etc/rc.conf.  If you want to run smokeping with only default options, just add smokeping_enable=”YES” to /etc/rc.conf.  If you want to set runtime options, then in addition to smokeping_enable=”YES” you can use smokeping_flags=”<flags>” to set your options.

Example:
smokeping_enable=”YES”
smokeping_flags=”--master-url=http://slat01.groups.local/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi --cache-dir=/usr/local/var/smokeping --shared-secret=/usr/local/etc/smokeping/slave_secret”

Thank you very much, it is indeed working…
I thought I needed to create a special rc.d daemon…

This is way simpler!!! Thx a lot!

You can put it in /etc/rc.local and it will run at boot.

Hi,

I need to make 30 slaves, each one running on a NUC at one of our agencies in a Virtualbox.

I got everything working except one thing that is probably really simple, but I don’t seem to get it…
How do I autoboot the smokeping slave using rc.d system.
My manual command is

/usr/local/bin/smokeping --master-url=http://slat01.groups.local/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi --cache-dir=/usr/local/var/smokeping --shared-secret=/usr/local/etc/smokeping/slave_secret

How do I do this now with rc.d in FreeBSD?

Friendly greetings,
