Instalasi dan Konfigurasi Smokeping 2.8.x di Debian 11

Smokeping merupakah senjata utama untuk memonitoring services yang menggunakan PING/ICMP. Tidak semua versi smokeping tersedia di Debian 11, untuk itu kita harus compile dari awal untuk versi terbaru, karena kemungkinan besar versi terbaru tidak akan di ikutkan di Debian 11.

Mari mulai proses instalasi Smokeping 2.8.x di Debian 11 (“bullseye”)

Install Dependency

Install dependency berikut ini agar proses compile berjalan dengan sempurna.

sudo apt install gcc make libwww-perl libcgi-fast-perl libtext-soundex-perl libio-pty-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl rrdtool librrds-perl libssl-dev -y

tambahannya kita install wget, yang akan digunakan untuk mendownload source Smokeping 2.8.2

sudo apt install wget -y

Install fping

Aplikasi ini yang akan digunakan untuk ping ke semua IP/Domain yang digunakan. Install fping dengan cara

sudo apt install fping -y

Download dan Install Smokeping 2.8.x

Saat ini versi terbaru adalah 2.8.2, cara yang sama bisa dijalankan untuk menginstall semua versi 2.8.x, download versi 2.8.2

wget https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/smokeping-2.8.2.tar.gz
# extract 
tar zxvf smokeping-2.8.2.tar.gz
# pindah ke folder smokeping
cd smokeping-2.8.2

Compile dan install

export LC_ALL=C
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/smokeping
# install
sudo make install

proses compile smokeping 2.8.2
tunggu beberapa waktu sampai instalasi selesai dan tidak ada informasi error diakhir instalasi.

Konfigurasi Smokeping 2.8.x

Buat folder untuk menyimpan cache dan data Smokeping

sudo mkdir /usr/local/smokeping/cache
sudo mkdir /usr/local/smokeping/data
sudo mkdir /usr/local/smokeping/var

Buat file baru /usr/local/smokeping/etc/config, untuk konfigurasi smokeping yang berisi

test config yang baru dibuat

sudo /usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping --debug

Systemd Smokeping

Agar mudah mengaktifkan smokeping sewaktu boot, maupun stop, start. Kita gunakan service systemd, buat file /usr/lib/systemd/system/smokeping.service yang berisi

[Unit]
Description=Smokeping Server
After=network.target
 
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping --nodaemon /usr/local/smokeping/etc/config --logfile=/var/log/smokeping.log
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

lalu jalankan

# aktifkan sewaktu booting
sudo systemctl enable smokeping
# jalankan
sudo systemctl start smokeping
# cek status
sudo systemctl status smokeping

Web UI Smokeping

Grafik smokeping bisa diakses dari browser, tetapi sebelumnya harus diaktifkan. Web server yang akan kita gunakan adalah Apache, berikut ini caranya
1. Install Apache

sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-fcgid -y

2. Setting VHOST Smokeping
Buat file virtual host untuk konfigurasi Smokeping di Apache pada file /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/smokeping.conf, yang isinya

Alias /smokeping/cache /usr/local/smokeping/cache
Alias /smokeping /usr/local/smokeping/htdocs/
 
 
<Directory "/usr/local/smokeping/cache">
  AllowOverride all
  Require all granted
</Directory>
 
<Directory "/usr/local/smokeping/htdocs/">
 Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
 AllowOverride all
 Require all granted
</Directory>

3. Aktifkan CGI dan restart Apache

sudo a2enmod cgi
# restart apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2

4. Set permission
Set permission agar apache bisa mengakses file Smokeping

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /usr/local/smokeping

5. Akses Web UI Smokeping
Buka link http://IP-SERVER/smokeping/smokeping.fcgi.dist
