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.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1> <p>To get <strong>smokeping.cgi</strong> going, you need a webserver which allows you to run cgi scripts. The system must be setup so that the <strong>smokeping.cgi</strong> is allowed to write to the image caching area as defined in the config file.</p> <p>This script runs with normal perl. <strong>BUT</strong> 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.</p> <p>Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="setup">SETUP</a></h1> <p>When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to fit your local system. Three paths have to be entered.</p> <pre> use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);</pre> <p>One pointing to your <strong>rrdtool</strong> installation</p> <pre> use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);</pre> <p>One pointing to the place where you have installed the SmokePing libraries</p> <pre> use Smokeping;</pre> <pre> Smokeping::cgi("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");</pre> <p>The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::cgi command. It points to the SmokePing configuration file.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="copyright">COPYRIGHT</a></h1> <p>Copyright (c) 2001 by Tobias Oetiker.
