What is smoking?

Smokeping is an open source software for monitoring network status and stability (developed by the author of RRDTool). It can monitor network conditions such as delay, packet loss rate, BGP multi line and so on; Smokeping will send various types of test data packets to the target equipment and system, measure and record, and graphically display the network delay, so as to clearly judge the instant communication situation of the network;

It can be used to monitor the network status of Qunhui host and the operation status of multiple vps. It supports email alarm.

install

Install in Docker mode on Qunhui.

Search the registry for smoking, select the first Linux server / smoking, and select the latest version.

volume

In the docker folder, create a new folder and name it smokeping, and create two subdirectories in smokeping, named config and data respectively.

folder	Load path	remarks
/docker/smokeping/data	/data	Database and application data directory
/docker/smokeping/config	/config	Profile directory

port

Ports cannot conflict

Local port	Container port	type
8580	80	TCP

environment

variable	value
TZ	Set to Asia/Shanghai
PGID	< GID > set to 1000
PUID	< uid > set to 1000

function

Enter http: / / Qunhui IP:8580 in the browser to see the main interface

configuration file

The configuration file is in the / docker / smoking / config directory. Once you know its purpose, you can easily modify it later

file	purpose
Alerts	Alarm settings
Database	Sampling frequency setting
General	General settings
httpd.conf	Apache Web server settings
pathnames	Path setting
Presentation	template file
Probes	Probe setup
Slaves	In master-slave mode, the slave is set
ssmtp.conf	Mail server settings
Targets	Monitoring target setting

Database

Open the smoking / config / database file and use the default value, that is, ping 20 times in 300 seconds (5 minutes)

Probes

Edit the smoking / config / probes file, change google.com in dns to baidu.com, and others are the default

Mail alarm

Step 1: edit ssmtp.conf

The configuration takes effect and the container needs to be restarted

Except for the password, it's all below 👇

Debug=YES
# Config file for sSMTP sendmail
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.

root=wbsu2003@88.com

# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no
# MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com

mailhub=smtp.88.com:465
AuthUser=wbsu2003@88.com
AuthPass=88 Private password for mailbox settings
UseSTARTTLS=NO

UseTLS=YES

# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=88.com

# The full hostname
hostname=linuxserver-smokeping1

# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address
# NO - Use the system generated From: address
FromLineOverride=YES

Lao Su uses mailbox 88, and the relevant parameters can be found in the settings

After setting, you can enter the container through the "terminal" for Email sending debugging, and enter ssmtp - V on the command line wbsu2003@hotmail.com , and then enter:

To: wbsu2003@hotmail.com
From: wbsu2003@88.com
Subject: alert <Enter twice>

test123 <ctrl+D>

Go to your inbox to check your mail

Step 2: edit Alerts

Modify the red box

• to: mailbox receiving alarm, or user-defined script;
• from: the mailbox that sends the alarm information, that is, the mailbox set in ssmtp.conf in the previous step;

The following are the conditions for triggering the alarm

The lower setting is to trigger the alarm more easily. The actual application delay can be set at 200ms

*** Alerts ***
to = wbsu2003@hotmail.com
from = wbsu2003@88.com
 
+rttdetect
type = rtt
pattern = <20,<20,<20,<20,<20,>20,>20,>20
comment = Delay more than 20 for 3 consecutive times

+lossdetect
type = loss
pattern = ==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,>0%,>0%,>0%
comment = Sudden packet loss

Targets

Internet Sites are basically sites that we cannot access normally, so they need to be modified, otherwise there will be no data

Edit the smoking / config / targets file

Please make a backup before editing

The format is clear at a glance. It adopts a hierarchical structure, which is represented by +. For example, the first layer "+" and the second layer "+ +" can be added or modified by analogy

Because there is Chinese, use utf-8 format

The configuration takes effect and the container needs to be restarted

If it is saved with the default GB18030 code, the Chinese will be garbled

The normal display should be like this

Over time, data will be generated gradually

When the set delay (rttdetect) or packet loss (lossdetect) condition is triggered, an email reminder will be received

If there is a problem with mail settings, a dead.letter file will be generated in the config directory to record triggered alarms

After downloading, open the file with the following contents 👇 In this way
