NAME
smokeping_config - Reference for the SmokePing Config File
OVERVIEW
SmokePing takes its configuration from a single central configuration
file. Its location must be hardcoded in the smokeping script and
smokeping.cgi.
The contents of this manual is generated directly from the
configuration file parser.
The Parser for the Configuration file is written using David Schweikers
Config::Grammar module. Read all about it in Config::Grammar.
The Configuration file has a tree-like structure with section headings
at various levels. It also contains variable assignments and tables.
Warning: this manual is rather long. See smokeping_examples for simple
configuration examples.
REFERENCE
GENERAL SYNTAX
The text below describes the general syntax of the SmokePing
configuration file. It was copied from the Config::Grammar
documentation.
'#' denotes a comment up to the end-of-line, empty lines are allowed
and space at the beginning and end of lines is trimmed.
'\' at the end of the line marks a continued line on the next line. A
single space will be inserted between the concatenated lines.
'@include filename' is used to include another file.
'@define a some value' will replace all occurences of 'a' in the
following text with 'some value'.
Fields in tables that contain white space can be enclosed in either "'"
or """. Whitespace can also be escaped with "\". Quotes inside quotes
are allowed but must be escaped with a backslash as well.
SPECIFIC SYNTAX
The text below describes the specific syntax of the SmokePing
configuration file.
*** General *** (mandatory section)
General configuration values valid for the whole SmokePing setup.
The following variables can be set in this section:
owner (mandatory setting)
Name of the person responsible for this smokeping installation.
imgcache (mandatory setting)
A directory which is visible on your webserver where SmokePing can
cache graphs.
imgurl (mandatory setting)
Either an absolute URL to the imgcache directory or one relative to
the directory where you keep the SmokePing cgi.
datadir (mandatory setting)
The directory where SmokePing can keep its rrd files.
dyndir
The base directory where SmokePing keeps the files related to the
DYNAMIC function. This directory must be writeable by the WWW
server. It is also used for temporary storage of slave polling
results by the master in the master/slave mode.
If this variable is not specified, the value of "datadir" will be
used instead.
pagedir
Directory to store static representations of pages.
piddir (mandatory setting)
The directory where SmokePing keeps its pid when daemonised.
sendmail
Path to your sendmail binary. It will be used for sending mails in
connection with the support of DYNAMIC addresses.
offset
If you run many instances of smokeping you may want to prevent them
from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the offset
parameter you can change the point in time when the probes are run.
Offset is specified in % of total interval, or alternatively as
'random'. I recommend to use 'random'. Note that this does NOT
influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
acqusition is initiated. The default offset is 'random'.
smokemail (mandatory setting)
Path to the mail template for DYNAMIC hosts. This mail template
must contain keywords of the form <##keyword##>. There is a sample
template included with SmokePing.
cgiurl (mandatory setting)
Complete URL path of the SmokePing.cgi
mailhost
Instead of using sendmail, you can specify the name of an smtp
server and use perl's Net::SMTP module to send mail (for alerts and
DYNAMIC client script). Several comma separated mailhosts can be
specified. SmokePing will try one after the other if one does not
answer for 5 seconds.
snpphost
If you have a SNPP (Simple Network Pager Protocol) server at hand,
you can have alerts sent there too. Use the syntax snpp:someaddress
to use a snpp address in any place where you can use a mail address
otherwhise.
contact (mandatory setting)
Mail address of the person responsible for this smokeping
installation.
display_name
What should the master host be called when working in master/slave
mode. This is used in the overview graph for example.
syslogfacility
The syslog facility to use, eg. local0...local7. Note: syslog
logging is only used if you specify this.
syslogpriority
The syslog priority to use, eg. debug, notice or info. Default is
info.
concurrentprobes
If you use multiple probes or multiple instances of the same probe
and you want them to run concurrently in separate processes, set
this to 'yes'. This gives you the possibility to specify probe-
specific step and offset parameters (see the 'Probes' section) for
each probe and makes the probes unable to block each other in cases
of service outages. The default is 'yes', but if you for some
reason want the old behaviour you can set this to 'no'.
changeprocessnames
When using 'concurrentprobes' (see above), this controls whether
the probe subprocesses should change their argv string to indicate
their probe in the process name. If set to 'yes' (the default),
the probe name will be appended to the process name as '[probe]',
eg. '/usr/bin/smokeping [FPing]'. If you don't like this
behaviour, set this variable to 'no'. If 'concurrentprobes' is not
set to 'yes', this variable has no effect.
Default value: changeprocessnames = yes
tmail
Path to your tSmoke HTML mail template file. See the tSmoke
documentation for details.
changecgiprogramname
Usually the Smokeping CGI tries to log any possible errors with an
extended program name that includes the IP address of the remote
client for easier debugging. If this variable is set to 'no', the
program name will not be modified. The only reason you would want
this is if you have a very old version of the CGI::Carp module. See
the installation document for details.
Default value: changecgiprogramname = yes
linkstyle
How the CGI self-referring links are created. The possible values
are
absolute
Full hostname and path derived from the 'cgiurl' variable
<a href="http://hostname/path/smokeping.cgi?foo=bar">
relative
Only the parameter part is specified
<a href="?foo=bar">
original
The way the links were generated before Smokeping version
2.0.4: no hostname, only the path
<a href="/path/smokeping.cgi?foo=bar">
The default is "relative", which hopefully works for everybody.
Default value: linkstyle = relative
precreateperms
If this variable is set, the Smokeping daemon will create its
directory hierarchy under 'dyndir' (the CGI-writable tree) at
startup with the specified directory permission bits. The value is
interpreted as an octal value, eg. 775 for rwxrwxr-x etc.
If unset, the directories will be created dynamically with umask
022.
Example: precreateperms = 2755
*** Database *** (mandatory section)
Describes the properties of the round robin database for storing the
SmokePing data. Note that it is not possible to edit existing RRDs by
changing the entries in the cfg file.
The following variables can be set in this section:
step (mandatory setting)
Duration of the base operation interval of SmokePing in seconds.
SmokePing will venture out every step seconds to ping your target
hosts. If 'concurrent_probes' is set to 'yes' (see above), this
variable can be overridden by each probe. Note that the step in the
RRD files is fixed when they are originally generated, and if you
change the step parameter afterwards, you'll have to delete the old
RRD files or somehow convert them.
pings (mandatory setting)
How many pings should be sent to each target. Suggested: 20 pings.
Minimum value: 3 pings. This can be overridden by each probe. Some
probes (those derived from basefork.pm, ie. most except the FPing
variants) will even let this be overridden target-specifically.
Note that the number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they
are originally generated, and if you change this parameter
afterwards, you'll have to delete the old RRD files or somehow
convert them.
This section also contains a table describing the setup of the
SmokePing database. Below are reasonable defaults. Only change them if
you know rrdtool and its workings. Each row in the table describes one
RRA.
# cons xff steps rows
AVERAGE 0.5 1 1008
AVERAGE 0.5 12 4320
MIN 0.5 12 4320
MAX 0.5 12 4320
AVERAGE 0.5 144 720
MAX 0.5 144 720
MIN 0.5 144 720
column 0
Consolidation method.
column 1
What part of the consolidated intervals must be known to warrant a
known entry.
column 2
How many steps to consolidate into for each RRA entry.
column 3
How many rows this RRA should have.
*** Presentation *** (mandatory section)
Defines how the SmokePing data should be presented.
The following variables can be set in this section:
template (mandatory setting)
The webpage template must contain keywords of the form
<##keyword##>. There is a sample template included with SmokePing;
use it as the basis for your experiments. Default template contains
a pointer to the SmokePing counter and homepage. I would be glad if
you would not remove this as it gives me an indication as to how
widely used the tool is.
charset
By default, SmokePing assumes the 'iso-8859-15' character set. If
you use something else, this is the place to speak up.
The following sections are valid on level 1:
+overview (mandatory section)
The Overview section defines how the Overview graphs should look.
The following variables can be set in this section:
width (mandatory setting)
Width of the Overview Graphs.
height (mandatory setting)
Height of the Overview Graphs.
range
How much time should be depicted in the Overview graph. Time
must be specified as a number followed by a letter which
specifies the unit of time. Known units are: seconds, minutes,
hours, ddays, weeks, years.
max_rtt
Any roundtrip time larger than this value will cropped in the
overview graph
median_color
By default the median line is drawn in red. Override it here
with a hex color in the format rrggbb. Note that if you work
with slaves, the slaves medians will be drawn in the slave
color in the overview graph.
strftime
Use posix strftime to format the timestamp in the left hand
lower corner of the overview graph
+detail (mandatory section)
The following variables can be set in this section:
width (mandatory setting)
How many pixels wide should detail graphs be
height (mandatory setting)
How many pixels high should detail graphs be
loss_background
Should the graphs be shown with a background showing loss data
for emphasis (yes/no)?
If this option is enabled, uptime data is no longer displayed
in the graph background.
logarithmic
should the graphs be shown in a logarithmic scale (yes/no)
unison_tolerance
if a graph is more than this factor of the median 'max' it
drops out of the unison scaling algorithm. A factor of two
would mean that any graph with a max either less than half or
more than twice the median 'max' will be dropped from unison
scaling
max_rtt
Any roundtrip time larger than this value will cropped in the
detail graph
strftime
Use posix strftime to format the timestamp in the left hand
lower corner of the detail graph
nodata_color
Paint the graph background in a special color when there is no
data for this period because smokeping has not been running
(#rrggbb)
The detailed display can contain several graphs of different
resolution. In this table you can specify the resolution of each
graph.
Example:
"Last 3 Hours" 3h
"Last 30 Hours" 30h
"Last 10 Days" 10d
"Last 400 Days" 400d
column 0
Description of the particular resolution.
column 1
How much time should be depicted. The format is the same as for
the age parameter of the Overview section.
The following sections are valid on level 2:
++loss_colors
In the Detail view, the color of the median line depends the
amount of lost packets. SmokePing comes with a reasonable
default setting, but you may choose to disagree. The table
below lets you specify your own coloring.
Example:
Loss Color Legend
1 00ff00 "<1"
3 0000ff "<3"
1000 ff0000 ">=3"
column 0
Activate when the number of losst pings is larger or equal
to this number
column 1
Color for this range.
column 2
Description for this range.
++uptime_colors
When monitoring a host with DYNAMIC addressing, SmokePing will
keep track of how long the machine is able to keep the same IP
address. This time is plotted as a color in the graphs
background. SmokePing comes with a reasonable default setting,
but you may choose to disagree. The table below lets you
specify your own coloring
Example:
# Uptime Color Legend
3600 00ff00 "<1h"
86400 0000ff "<1d"
604800 ff0000 "<1w"
1000000000000 ffff00 ">1w"
Uptime is in days!
column 0
Activate when uptime in days is larger of equal to this
number
column 1
Color for this uptime range.
column 2
Description for this range.
+charts
The SmokePing Charts feature allow you to have Top X lists created
according to various criteria.
Each type of Chart must live in its own subsection.
+ charts
menu = Charts
title = The most interesting destinations
++ median
sorter = Median(entries=>10)
title = Sorted by Median Roundtrip Time
menu = Top Median RTT
format = Median RTT %e s
The following variables can be set in this section:
menu (mandatory setting)
Menu entry for the Charts Section.
title (mandatory setting)
Page title for the Charts Section.
The following sections are valid on level 2:
++/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
The following variables can be set in this section:
menu (mandatory setting)
Menu entry
title (mandatory setting)
Page title
sorter (mandatory setting)
sorter for this charts sections
format
sprintf format string to format curent value
+multihost
Settings for the multihost graphs. At the moment this is only used
for the color setting. Check the documentation on the host property
of the target section for more.
The following variables can be set in this section:
colors
Space separated list of colors for multihost graphs
Example: colors = ff0000 00ff00 0000ff
+hierarchies
Provide an alternative presentation hierarchy for your smokeping
data. After setting up a hierarchy in this section. You can use it
in each tagets parent property. A drop-down menu in the smokeping
website lets the user switch presentation hierarchy.
The following sections are valid on level 2:
++/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
Identifier of the hierarchie. Use this as prefix in the targets
parent property
The following variables can be set in this section:
title (mandatory setting)
Title for this hierarchy
*** Probes *** (mandatory section)
The Probes Section configures Probe modules. Probe modules integrate an
external ping command into SmokePing. Check the documentation of each
module for more information about it.
The following sections are valid on level 1:
+/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
Each module can take specific configuration information from this
area. The jumble of letters above is a regular expression defining
legal module names.
See the documentation of each module for details about its
variables.
The grammar of this section is dynamically modified based on its
name.
The following sections are valid on level 2:
++/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
You can define multiple instances of the same probe with
subsections. These instances can have different values for
their variables, so you can eg. have one instance of the FPing
probe with packet size 1000 and step 300 and another instance
with packet size 64 and step 30. The name of the subsection
determines what the probe will be called, so you can write
descriptive names for the probes.
If there are any subsections defined, the main section for this
probe will just provide default parameter values for the probe
instances, ie. it will not become a probe instance itself.
The example above would be written like this:
*** Probes ***
+ FPing
# this value is common for the two subprobes
binary = /usr/bin/fping
++ FPingLarge
packetsize = 1000
step = 300
++ FPingSmall
packetsize = 64
step = 30

*** Targets *** (mandatory section)
The Target Section defines the actual work of SmokePing. It contains a
hierarchical list of hosts which mark the endpoints of the network
connections the system should monitor. Each section can contain one
host as well as other sections. By adding slaves you can measure the
connection to an endpoint from multiple locations.
The following variables can be set in this section:
probe (mandatory setting)
The name of the probe module to be used for this host. The value of
this variable gets propagated
This variable dynamically modifies the grammar based on its value.
menu (mandatory setting)
Menu entry for this section. If not set this will be set to the
hostname.
title (mandatory setting)
Title of the page when it is displayed. This will be set to the
hostname if left empty.
remark
An optional remark on the current section. It gets displayed on the
webpage.
alerts
A comma separated list of alerts to check for this target. The
alerts have to be setup in the Alerts section. Alerts are inherited
by child nodes. Use an empty alerts definition to remove inherited
alerts from the current target and its children.
slaves
List of slave servers. It gets inherited by all targets.
menuextra
HTML String to be added to the end of each menu entry. The "{HOST}"
entry will be replaced by the host property of the relevant
section. The "{CLASS}" entry will be replaced by the same class as
the other tags in the manu line.
parents
The following sections are valid on level 1:
+/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
Each target section can contain information about a host to monitor
as well as further target sections. Most variables have already
been described above. The expression above defines legal names for
target sections.
This section is recursive: it can contain subsection(s) with the
same syntax.
The following variables can be set in this section:
probe
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
This variable dynamically modifies the grammar based on its
value.
menu
title
alerts
Comma separated list of alert names
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
note
Some information about this entry which does NOT get displayed
on the web.
email
This is the contact address for the owner of the current host.
In connection with the DYNAMIC hosts, the address will be used
for sending the belowmentioned script.
host
There are three types of "hosts" in smokeping.
1. The 'hostname' is a name of a host you want to target from
smokeping
2. The string DYNAMIC. Is for machines that have a dynamic IP
address. These boxes are required to regularly contact the
SmokePing server to confirm their IP address.
When starting SmokePing with the commandline argument
--email it will add a secret password to each of the
DYNAMIC host lines and send a script to the owner of each
host. This script must be started periodically (cron) on
the host in question to let smokeping know where the host
is curently located. If the target machine supports SNMP
SmokePing will also query the hosts sysContact, sysName and
sysLocation properties to make sure it is still the same
host.
3. A space separated list of 'target-path' entries (multihost
target). All targets mentioned in this list will be
displayed in one graph. Note that the graph will look
different from the normal smokeping graphs. The syntax for
multihost targets is as follows:
host = /world/town/host1 /world/town2/host33 /world/town2/host1~slave
remark
rawlog
Log the raw data, gathered for this target, in tab separated
format, to a file with the same basename as the corresponding
RRD file. Use posix strftime to format the timestamp to be put
into the file name. The filename is built like this:
basename.strftime.csv
Example:
rawlog=%Y-%m-%d
this would create a new logfile every day with a name like
this:
targethost.2004-05-03.csv
alertee
If you want to have alerts for this target and all targets
below it go to a particular address on top of the address
already specified in the alert, you can add it here. This can
be a comma separated list of items.
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
slaves
The slave names must match the slaves you have setup in the
slaves section.
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
menuextra
HTML String to be added to the end of each menu entry. The
following tags will be replaced:
{HOST} -> #$hostname
{HOSTNAME} -> $hostname
{CLASS} -> same class as the other tags in the menu line
{HASH} -> #
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
parents
After setting up a hierarchy in the Presentation section of the
configuration file you can use this property to assign an entry
to alternate hierarchies. The format for parent entries is.
hierarchyA:/Node1/Node2 hierarchyB:/Node3
The entries from all parent properties together will build a
new tree for each hierarchy. With this method it is possible to
make a single target show up multiple times in a tree. If you
think this is a good thing, go ahead, nothing is stopping you.
Since you do not only define the parent but the full path of
the parent node, circular dependencies are not possible.
hide
Set the hide property to 'yes' to hide this host from the
navigation menu and from search results. Note that if you set
the hide property on a non leaf entry all subordinate entries
will also disapear in the menu structure. If you know a direct
link to a page it is still accessible. Pages which are hidden
from the menu due to a parent being hidden will still show up
in search results and in alternate hierarchies where they are
below a non hidden parent.
Default value: hide = no
nomasterpoll
Use this in a master/slave setup where the master must not poll
a particular target. The master will now skip this entry in its
polling cycle. Note that if you set the hide property on a non
leaf entry all subordinate entries will also disapear in the
menu structure. You can still access them via direct link or
via an alternate hierarchy.
If you have no master/slave setup this will have a similar
effect to the hide property, except that the menu entry will
still show up, but will not contain any graphs.
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
Default value: nomasterpoll = no

*** Alerts ***
The Alert section lets you setup loss and RTT pattern detectors. After
each round of polling, SmokePing will examine its data and determine
which detectors match. Detectors are enabled per target and get
inherited by the targets children.
Detectors are not just simple thresholds which go off at first sight of
a problem. They are configurable to detect special loss or RTT
patterns. They let you look at a number of past readings to make a more
educated decision on what kind of alert should be sent, or if an alert
should be sent at all.
The patterns are numbers prefixed with an operator indicating the type
of comparison required for a match.
The following RTT pattern detects if a target's RTT goes from
constantly below 10ms to constantly 100ms and more:
old ------------------------------> new
<10,<10,<10,<10,<10,>10,>100,>100,>100
Loss patterns work in a similar way, except that the loss is defined as
the percentage the total number of received packets is of the total
number of packets sent.
old ------------------------------> new
==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,>20%,>20%,>=20%
Apart from normal numbers, patterns can also contain the values * which
is true for all values regardless of the operator. And U which is true
for unknown data together with the == and =! operators.
Detectors normally act on state changes. This has the disadvantage,
that they will fail to find conditions which were already present when
launching smokeping. For this it is possible to write detectors that
begin with the special value ==S it is inserted whenever smokeping is
started up.
You can write
==S,>20%,>20%
to detect lines that have been losing more than 20% of the packets for
two periods after startup.
If you want to make sure a value within a certain range you can use two
conditions in one element
>45%<=55%
Sometimes it may be that conditions occur at irregular intervals. But
still you only want to throw an alert if they occur several times
within a certain amount of times. The operator *X* will ignore up to X
values and still let the pattern match:
>10%,*10*,>10%
will fire if more than 10% of the packets have been lost at least twice
over the last 10 samples.
A complete example
*** Alerts ***
to = admin@company.xy,peter@home.xy
from = smokealert@company.xy
+lossdetect
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = ==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,>20%,>20%,>20%
comment = suddenly there is packet loss
+miniloss
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%
comment = detected loss 3 times over the last two hours
+rttdetect
type = rtt
# in milliseconds
pattern = <10,<10,<10,<10,<10,<100,>100,>100,>100
comment = routing messed up again ?
+rttbadstart
type = rtt
# in milliseconds
pattern = ==S,==U
comment = offline at startup
The following variables can be set in this section:
to (mandatory setting)
Either an email address to send alerts to, or the name of a program
to execute when an alert matches. To call a program, the first
character of the to value must be a pipe symbol "|". The program
will the be called whenever an alert matches, using the following 5
arguments (except if edgetrigger is 'yes'; see below): name-of-
alert, target, loss-pattern, rtt-pattern, hostname. You can also
provide a comma separated list of addresses and programs.
from (mandatory setting)
who should alerts appear to be coming from ?
edgetrigger
The alert notifications and/or the programs executed are normally
triggered every time the alert matches. If this variable is set to
'yes', they will be triggered only when the alert's state is
changed, ie. when it's raised and when it's cleared. Subsequent
matches of the same alert will thus not trigger a notification.
When this variable is set to 'yes', a notification program (see the
to variable documentation above) will get a sixth argument, raise,
which has the value 1 if the alert was just raised and 0 if it was
cleared.
Default value: edgetrigger = no
mailtemplate
When sending out mails for alerts, smokeping normally uses an
internally generated message. With the mailtemplate you can
customize the alert mails to look they way you like them. The all
<##keyword##> type strings will get replaced in the template before
it is sent out. the following keywords are supported:
<##ALERT##> - target name
<##WHAT##> - status (is active, was raised, was celared)
<##LINE##> - path in the config tree
<##URL##> - webpage for graph
<##STAMP##> - date and time
<##PAT##> - pattern that matched the alert
<##LOSS##> - loss history
<##RTT##> - rtt history
<##COMMENT##> - comment
The following sections are valid on level 1:
+/[^\s,]+/
The following variables can be set in this section:
type (mandatory setting)
Currently the pattern types rtt and loss and matcher are known.
Matchers are plugin modules that extend the alert conditions.
Known matchers are Avgratio, CheckLatency, CheckLoss, ExpLoss,
Median, Medratio.
See the documentation of the corresponding matcher module (eg.
Smokeping::matchers::Avgratio) for instructions on configuring
it.
pattern (mandatory setting)
a comma separated list of comparison operators and numbers. rtt
patterns are in milliseconds, loss patterns are in percents
comment (mandatory setting)
to Similar to the "to" parameter on the top-level except that it
will only be used IN ADDITION to the value of the toplevel
parameter. Same rules apply.
edgetrigger
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
Default value: edgetrigger = no
mailtemplate
This variable inherits its value from the parent section if
nothing is specified here.
priority
if multiple alerts 'match' only the one with the highest
priority (lowest number) will cause and alert to be sent.
Alerts without priority will be sent in any case.
*** Slaves ***
Your smokeping can remote control other somkeping instances running in
slave mode on different hosts. Use this section to tell your master
smokeping about the slaves you are going to use.
The following variables can be set in this section:
secrets (mandatory setting)
The slave secrets file contines one line per slave with the name of
the slave followed by a colon and the secret:
slave1:secret1
slave2:secret2
...
Note that these secrets combined with a man-in-the-middle attack
effectively give shell access to the corresponding slaves (see
smokeping_master_slave), so the file should be appropriately
protected and the secrets should not be easily crackable.
The following sections are valid on level 1:
+/[-_0-9a-zA-Z.]+/
Define some basic properties for the slave.
The following variables can be set in this section:
display_name (mandatory setting)
Name of the Slave host.
location
Where is the slave located.
color (mandatory setting)
Color for the slave in graphs where input from multiple hosts
is presented.
The following sections are valid on level 2:
++override
If part of the configuration information must be overwritten to
match the settings of the you can specify this in this section.
A setting is overwritten by giveing the full path of the
configuration variable. If you have this configuration in the
Probes section:
*** Probes ***
+FPing
binary = /usr/sepp/bin/fping
You can override it for a particular slave like this:
++override
Probes.FPing.binary = /usr/bin/fping
The following variables can be set in this section:
/\S+/
