1) Enable SpeedyCGI (installed as a dependency of Smokeping) for Apache.

-For MacPorts Apache 2, add the line below to ${prefix}/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.

LoadModule speedycgi_module modules/mod_speedycgi.so

-For Apple's Apache 2, manually copy mod_speedycgi.so and smokeping.cgi
into place ...

sudo cp ${prefix}/share/doc/speedycgi/mod_speedycgi.so /usr/libexec/apache2
sudo cp ${prefix}${smokedata}/smokeping.cgi /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables

... and add the lines below to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.

LoadModule speedycgi_module libexec/apache2/mod_speedycgi.so


2) Changes to httpd.conf for Smokeping.

-Uncomment this line to enable the CGI script handler.

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

-Add a directive for Smokeping's data directory and add
smokeping.cgi to DirectoryIndex for a simple /smokeping url.

Alias /smokeping \"${prefix}/var/smokeping\"

Allow from all
Options ExecCGI



DirectoryIndex index.html smokeping.cgi



3) Set Smokeping data directory permissions to the Apache user and group set
in httpd.conf. The default Apache user and group for OS X is www.

sudo chown -R : ${smokedata}/


4) Setup Smokeping logging.

-Add this statement to /etc/syslog.conf.

local1.* ${smokedata}/log/smokeping.log

-Create a logfile to receive the log messages.

cd ${smokedata}/log
sudo touch smokeping.log
sudo chmod 600 smokeping.log
sudo chown root:admin smokeping.log

-Then restart the syslog facility.

sudo kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`


5) Rename and edit the ${smokeetc}/config sample files, then test your config file.

-Remove the .dist extension from all files; do not change the filenames.

cd ${smokeetc}
sudo mv config.dist config

-Set the DNS names for the Smokeping config file url's \"imageurl\" and \"cgiurl\".
But you should leave all file paths alone -they are set by MacPorts.

imgurl = http://myhost.mycompany.com/smokeping
cgiurl = http://myhost.mycompany.com/smokeping/smokeping.cgi

-Customize variables.

* General * - owner, contact, and mailhost
* Alerts * - to, from addresses

-Then clear the examples \(they have a leading '+'\) in the *** Targets ***
section and set your own.

+ My Web Server
menu = MyWebServer
title = My Web Server
host = mywebserver.mydomain.com
alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss

-See sample configurations and examples in ${prefix}/share/doc/smokeping/.

-Perform a config file test from a terminal window and correct any errors that
are reported.

smokeping --check


6) Start Smokeping and verify it is running. (Give it a minute to start)

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.smokeping.plist
ps -ax |grep smoke

1713 Ss 0:00.16 ${prefix}/bin/smokeping \[FPing\]
1753 Ss 0:00.18 ${prefix}/bin/speedy_backend -w ${prefix}/apache2/htdocs/smokeping/smokeping.cgi
1754 S 0:01.56 ${prefix}/bin/speedy_backend -w ${prefix}/apache2/htdocs/smokeping/smokeping.cgi


7) Check the Smokeping graphs with a web browser.

Go to http://localhost/smokeping


8) Add or remove targets from Smokeping.

After adding or removing targets from ${smokeetc}/config, you must reload
Smokeping from a terminal window.

sudo smokeping --reload
\n"
}

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/smokeping
%  sudo port install smokeping  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching smokeping
--->  Verifying checksum for smokeping
--->  Extracting smokeping
--->  Configuring smokeping
--->  Building smokeping with target all

--->  Staging smokeping into destroot

--->  Installing smokeping

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using smokeping with these commands:

%  man smokeping
%  apropos smokeping
%  which smokeping
%  locate smokeping
