Nagios Support Forum

hi all.. am working on a project that requires integration of smokeping.. i followed the instructions on Integrating_Smokeping_With_Nagios_XI. I even tried the sample scenario on the included screenshots but i got this error:

UNKNOWN: RRD error: RRD file /opt/smokeping/data/Remote/Nagios/Nagios-org.rrd does not exist.

can someone help/explain to me please the proper way/logic of declaring $ARG1$. where can the rrd file of each host can be seen or can be found. i looked on the /opt/smokeping/data but there is no other file there than the __sortercache and Test directories.

thanks.

hi.. here is another inconsistency i discovered...
i have started the smokeping service and it goes ok. i run chkconfig smokeping on and it goes ok.. but when i checked on smokeping status it says smokeping is STOPPED! i tried, running smokeping restart and it did both, stop and run. am i missing something here? what else should be installed or configured?

thanks

You may have missed the section:

Once Smokeping is installed you will need to configure it to monitor the
desired hosts. This is outside the scope of this document and you
should consult Smokeping's official documentation for more
information

Did you configure smokeping to monitor your hosts?

hello scottwilkerson,

yes sir. i edited the /opt/smokeping/etc/config and when i ran /etc/init.d/smokeping restart it stopped but it wont start again. and when i checked on /opt/smokeping/data/ there are no other rrd file for my hosts...

also, would you know the logic for the smokeping_secrets? how was it being configured?

as of now, i have reboot my server but it worn continue because smokeping wont start.

i've yet another issue... i noticed that as i add the smokeping service, even the status is 100% packets loss it still display OK with green color. as i have mentioned i followed every instructions on the .pdf file on how to integrate smokeping to nagios.
inputs will highly appreciated.

This sounds to me like an error in the config file.

You should be able to check the config by running it should return OK

hi sir.. this is as of now already running OK but i did not configure the smokeping_secrets for am really "greatly challenged" understanding the ways of smokeping.
thanks for your help even if this is already not a Nagios thing.

thank you all for your help... Merry Christmas!
