Installation nmidSmokeping PLUGIN

[phalek]

Can you provide a screenshot of the tree view page where the graphs should appear ?

[julian924s]

Sure, here's what I hope is the right series of screenshots for what I've done so far:











As far as I can tell this is right ... hopefully. Just no smokeping links / graphs.

Thanks again - Julian.

[phalek]

odd.

Can you check the host table in the cacti db for these devices if it contains fields which start with "nwmgmt_" ?

one should be called "nwmgmt_settings" and have some value like "s100000" in it.

Hi, sure - DB output for one of the hosts enabled is:

mysql> select * from host where hostname='tdukwww01' \G

Aha, I've taken a look at the DB settings and can see some changes. If I REMOVE the device from smokeping and then ADD it again the DB values change to:

*************************** 1. row ***************************
hostname: tdukwww01
nwmgmt_settings: s1000000000
nwmgmt_smokeping_path: LIVE.WWW.tdukwww01
nwmgmt_smokeping_server: http://192.168.75.73
nwmgmt_smokeping_probe:
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

And if I view the graphs for that device I see at the bottom of the page:

"Graph Template: SmokePing (external)" and a magnifying glass link - hovering over it, it states "Go to smokeping" - however following the link opens a new tab with the error:

"Software error:
ERROR: Section 'tdukwww01' does not exist (display webpage). at /usr/share/smokeping-2.4.2/lib/Smokeping.pm line 1588.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error"

So I appear to be making some sort of progress. I'm going to remove ALL devices, add them again and take a further look.

Right, think I've got this working now - but just wanted to confirm. Should the smokeping graphs be visible within Cacti, or just the external link provided?

ie.



And clicking on the link takes me to my smokeping page for this host.

Thanks - J.

Hi Zoemu,

Please download the latest file from here: http://redmine.nmid-plugins.de/projects ... ping/files

It should fix this issue.

I'm Still getting this errors

Code: Select all

[Tue Sep 20 16:35:47 2011] [error] [client 10.1.140.174] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: debug in /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/nmidSmokeping/getSmokePingImage.php on line 10, referer: http://10.1.140.7/cacti/graph_view.php?action=tree&tree_id=2&leaf_id=16

The magnifiedglass icon takes me to the right view in smokeping ....just graph in cacti is broken....

[phalek]

Please try the attached file.

Silly me

It should show the graph right next to that link. You also need to use the file which I attached to the previous post.

If you click on the link it needs(!!!) to go to your smokeping install and displaying the actual smokeping graph for the device.

If not, then your smokeping config isn't yet correct (the target section).

[julian924s]

ok, thanks - I replaced my getSmokePingImage.php with the one from your link above. Disabled, uninstalled etc the plugin. Removed and added the devices to smokeping again and checked my mysql output - no new devices etc have been added so the smokeping_nmid_spserver1_config.txt file has remained the same.

hostname: tdukwww02
nwmgmt_settings: s1000000000
nwmgmt_smokeping_path: LIVE.WWW.tdukwww02
nwmgmt_smokeping_server: http://192.168.75.73
nwmgmt_smokeping_probe:
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

And still there's no image in Cacti, just a link to my actual smokeping install which is still ok. The only other thing I thought to check was the page source which shows:

<img src='/cacti/plugins/nmidSmokeping/getSmokePingImage.php?start=1316691080&end=1316777480&target=LIVE.WWW.tdukwww02&server=nmid_spserver1&graphtype=detail' border='0'>

And this does look ok to me?

Thanks - J.

[phalek]

/cacti/plugins/nmidSmokeping/getSmokePingImage.php?start=1316691080&end=1316777480&target=LIVE.WWW.tdukwww02&server=nmid_spserver1&graphtype=detail&debug=1

try this url

[julian924s]

The URL just gives a blank page, nothing - page source reveals nothing either?

[phalek]

Do you have php-curl installed ??

Do a php -m and post it here. If CURL isn't listed, then go and install it.

[julian924s]

Hi Phalek - sorry for the late reply, to cut a long story short you were correct - missing PHP module. Thanks for all your help on this one.

Julian.

Hi guys,

what happend to the v1.0 on http://www.nmid-plugins.de/projects/nmidsmokeping/files ? I cant find it there :/
Is there a way to get nmidSmokeping to run on Cacti 0.8.7g+ or should i just downgrade Cacti and use the nmidSmokeping v0.5?
I can't get Cacti to detect the nmidSmokeping addon with my current version of Cacti/nmidSmokeping.
