is the new way to go for Smokeping under Windows 1) smokewhat?
Smokeping(link) is a nice latency measurement tool, unfortunately it WAS only available for linux/unix…but after the jump, you'll find how to make it work under Microsoft Windows!
SmokePing is a deluxe latency measurement tool. It can measure, store and display latency, latency distribution and packet loss. SmokePing uses RRDtool to maintain a longterm data-store and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the minute information on the state of each network connection.
2) What you need
- Perl (choose Perl 5.8.xxx MSI package for Windows) Yeah Perl is cool and you can have a lot of fun using it
- RRDs module for Perl This version works for sure, but feel free to download the latest
- fping for windows (thanks to Michael Parson)
- Smokeping This version works for sure, but feel free to download the latest
- a text editor There's a lot of text editors out there… personally, I like pspad
- a web server Feel free to download, install, configure apache with cgi yourself, or use WAMP (the one I use), or whatever bundled apache/cgi/php/mysql version you want
3) What you do not need
- Money all listed softwares are (at least) freeware
- A (linux/unix)-running computer yeah dude, windows rulez da w0rld
4) “Installation”
- Install Activestate Perl - Install RRDtool for windows (unzip, and launch install.cmd) - Unzip smokeping to C:\smokeping-2.0.8 - Unzip fping for windows (make sure cygwin1.dll is in the same folder) to C:\smokeping-2.0.8\fping - Install WAMP to C:\wamp
5) Modifications
a) rename - C:\smokeping-2.0.8\bin\smokeping.dist into smokeping.pl - C:\smokeping-2.0.8\bin\tSmoke.dist into tSmoke.pl
b) edit - C:\smokeping- 2.0.8\bin\smokeping.pl add (after line 5): use lib qw(C:\smokeping-2.0.8\lib); change (line 9): Smokeping::main(“etc/config.dist”); into Smokeping::main(“C:/smokeping-2.0.8/etc/config.dist”);
- C:\smokeping-2.0.8\bin\tSmoke.pl change (line 63): my $cfgfile = “etc/config.dist”; into my $cfgfile = “C:\smokeping-2.0.8\etc\config.dist”;
- C:\smokeping- 2.0.8\lib\Smokeping.pm change (line 14): use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock); into #use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock); change (line 21): $ENV{LC_NUMERIC}='C'; into #$ENV{LC_NUMERIC}='C'; change (line 22): POSIX::setlocale(&POSIX::LC_NUMERIC,“”); into #POSIX::setlocale(&POSIX::LC_NUMERIC,“”); change (line 2984): daemonize_me $cfg→{General}{piddir}.“/smokeping.pid”; into #daemonize_me $cfg→{General}{piddir}.“/smokeping.pid”;
- C:\wamp\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf change (line 515): ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “C:/wamp/Apache2/cgi-bin/” into ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “c:/wamp/cgi/” change (line 521): <Directory “C:/wamp/Apache2/cgi-bin/”> into <Directory “c:/wamp/cgi”>
c) move and rename - Create folder c:\wamp\cgi - C:\smokeping-2.0.8\htdocs\smokeping.cgi.dist to c:\wamp\cgi\smokeping.pl
d) edit - c:\wamp\cgi\smokeping.pl change (line 1): #!/usr/sepp/bin/speedy -w into #!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe -w change (line 5): use lib qw(/home/oetiker/data/projects/AADJ-smokeping/dist/lib); into use lib qw(C:\smokeping-2.0.8\lib); change (line 10): Smokeping::cgi(“/home/oetiker/data/projects/AADJ-smokeping/dist/etc/config”); into Smokeping::cgi(“C:/smokeping-2.0.8/etc/config.dist”);
6) Configuration
- Create folders: C:\wamp\www\simg C:\smokeping- 2.0.8\var
