Centos7安装smokeping

I am using Centos7 + smokeping-2.6.9 lets start up by install needed package before that, we will need to enable Epel repo You can install EPEL by running yum install epel-release. The package is included in the CentOS Extras repository, enabled by default.

install epel

1	yum install epel-release

Then follow up by the package for:

mod_fcgid
httpd
httpd-devel
rrdtool
perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI
fping
rrdtool-perl
perl
perl-Sys-Syslog

1	yum install mod_fcgid httpd httpd-devel rrdtool perl-CGI-SpeedyCGI fping rrdtool-perl perl perl-Sys-Syslog

install perl modules

Then we will needed some package for Cpan to install perl stuff

1	yum install perl-CPAN perl-local-lib perl-Time-HiRes

The last one is the package to create installation for smokeping

1	# yum groupinstall "Development tools"

install smokeping

\\ Now lets download the latest smokeping at http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub currently the latest i saw is 2.6.9, so i just download that
wget http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.6.9.tar.gz
\\ then extract it
tar -zxvf smokeping-2.6.9.tar.gz
\\ Install the smokeping perl stuff
cd smokeping-2.6.9/setup
./build-perl-modules.sh
\\ it will auto install needed perl
\\ Once done, back to smokeping-2.6.9 folder and you will notice a folder name thirdparty is created
\\ we will need to move it to /usr/local/smokeping folder, but before that, lets create smokeping folder at /usr/local/smokeping first
\\ then copy the thirdparty folder into it
mkdir /urs/local/smokeping
cp -r thirdparty /usr/lcoal/smokeping/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/smokeping PERL5LIB=/usr/lib64/perl5/
make
make install

Note: if you encounter problem, please try make install again
this is because for my situation when i first make install, it pop some error but when i try make install again, the error gone

Now you can go to /usr/local/smokeping/etc and prepare the config file

install httpd

Now is time to prepare for the interface make sure you had install apache else please install it using yum install httpd

1	yum install httpd -y
