NAME
smokeping_cgi - SmokePing webfrontend
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.
DESCRIPTION
To get smokeping_cgi going, you need a webserver which allows you to run CGI or better
FastCGI scripts. The system must be setup so that the cgi process is allowed to write to
the image caching area as defined in the config file.
This script runs fine as a normal CGI, BUT 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
recommend using FastCGI.
Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions.
SETUP
There is a sample htdocs directory in your smokeping installation root. Copy its content
to the place where your webserver expects its files. There are also two sample cgi
scripts showing how to launch the smokeping cgi in your website. The only difference is
the file extension. Adjust the paths in the script and you should be ready to go.
