.IX Title "SMOKEPING.CGI.DIST 1"
.TH SMOKEPING.CGI.DIST 1 "2008-07-24" "2.4.2" "SmokePing"
.SH "NAME"
smokeping.cgi \- SmokePing webfrontend
.SH "OVERVIEW"
.IX Header "OVERVIEW"
This script acts as a 'website' for your SmokePing monitoring operation. It
presents the targets you are looking at in a tree structure and draws graphs
as they are required by people looking at the pages.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
To get \fBsmokeping.cgi\fR going, you need a webserver which allows you to run
cgi scripts. The system must be setup so that the \fBsmokeping.cgi\fR is
allowed to write to the image caching area as defined in the config file.
.PP
This script runs with normal perl. \fB\s-1BUT\s0\fR it will appear to be very slow,
because it does a lot of things when starting up. So if the script has to be
started a fresh on every click, this is both slow and a tough thing for your
webserver. I therefore strongly recomment using SpeedyCGI.
.PP
Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions.
.SH "SETUP"
.IX Header "SETUP"
When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to fit your
local system. Three paths have to be entered.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool\-1.0.33\-to/lib/perl);
.Ve
.PP
One pointing to your \fBrrdtool\fR installation
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);
.Ve
.PP
One pointing to the place where you have installed the SmokePing libraries
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Smokeping;
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\& Smokeping::cgi("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");
.Ve
.PP
The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::cgi command. It points to
the SmokePing configuration file.
