smokeping是一款网络质量检测软件，用perl写成，使用rrdtool保存数据。

它的优势是轻量，易于安装，可定制性强。

安装过程

下载安装包：下载页面

写作此文时最新版本为2.6.8。

解压后进入目录，执行命令

./setup/build-perl-modules.sh /opt/smokeping-2.6.8/thirdparty

./configure

如果提示有模块安装失败，可以从CPAN安装。

perl -MCPAN -e 'install FCGI'

确保configure成功后，执行

qmake install

创建必要的目录

cd /opt/smokeping-2.6.8/ && mkdir cache var data

安装rrdtool，httpd和mod_fcgid

rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

yum install rrdtool httpd mod_fcgid -y

配置httpd。创建配置文件/etc/httpd/conf.d/smokeping.conf，内容如下

alias	/smokeping/cache	/opt/smokeping-2.6.8/cache/
alias	/smokeping	/opt/smokeping-2.6.8/htdocs/

<Directory /opt/smokeping-2.6.8/cache/>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /opt/smokeping-2.6.8/htdocs/>
    #SetHandler fcgid-script
    Options +ExecCGI

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

修复cache目录权限，否则查看页面会报错。

chown apache /opt/smokeping-2.6.8/cache/
