       smokeping.cgi - SmokePing webfrontend

OOVVEERRVVIIEEWW
       This script acts as a 'website' for your SmokePing moni-
       toring 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.

       To get ssmmookkeeppiinngg..ccggii going, you need a webserver which
       allows you to run cgi scripts. The system must be setup so
       that the ssmmookkeeppiinngg..ccggii is allowed to write to the image
       caching area as defined in the config file.

       This script runs with normal perl. BBUUTT it will appear to
       be very slow, because it does a lot of things when start-
       ing 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.

       Please refer to the installation document for detailed
       setup instructions.

SSEETTUUPP
       When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to
       fit your local system. Three paths have to be entered.

        use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);

       One pointing to your rrrrddttooooll installation

        use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);

       One pointing to the place where you have installed the
       SmokePing libraries

        use Smokeping;

        Smokeping::cgi("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");

       The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::cgi com-
       mand. It points to the SmokePing configuration file.
