How To Install HotSaNIC

(03/25/04)

First, we will need to install or update ImageMagick
From root

wget http://www.imagemagick.net/download/linux/redhat-9.x/i386/ImageMagick-5.5.7-10.i386.rpm
wget http://www.imagemagick.net/download/linux/redhat-9.x/i386/ImageMagick-Magick++-5.5.7-10.i386.rpm
wget http://www.imagemagick.net/download/linux/redhat-9.x/i386/ImageMagick-debuginfo-5.5.7-10.i386.rpm
wget http://www.imagemagick.net/download/linux/redhat-9.x/i386/ImageMagick-devel-5.5.7-10.i386.rpm
wget http://www.imagemagick.net/download/linux/redhat-9.x/i386/ImageMagick-perl-5.5.7-10.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh *.rpm
rm -f ImageMagick-5.5.6*.rpm

Next, we will need to install RRDtool

wget http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool-1.0.46.tar.gz
tar zxvf rrdtool-1.0.46.tar.gz
cd rrdtool-1.0.46
./configure
make
make install
make site-perl-install
cd ..
rm -fr rrdtool-1.0.46*

Now we will install and configure HotSaNIC

cd /usr/local
wget http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/hotsanic/hotsanic-0.5.0-pre5.tgz
tar zxvf hotsanic-0.5.0-pre5.tgz
rm -f hotsanic-0.5.0-pre5.tgz
cd HotSaNIC
./setup.pl

You will be asked a number of questions during the install script.

You are now back at the command prompt. (If it asks you more questions, just accept the default answers.. we are using these settings below....)

-Let's configure HotSaNIC by entering the following.-

cd var/settings
pico main


press [ctrl -w] then type 'binpath' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

BINPATH="not configured"

change to

BINPATH="/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.46/bin"

press [ctrl -w] again then type 'webdir' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

WEBDIR="not configured"

change to

WEBDIR="/var/www/html/HotSaNIC"

press [ctrl -w] again then type 'ctime' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

CTIME="24"

change to

CTIME="4"

press [ctrl -w] again then type 'convertpath' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

CONVERTPATH="not configured"

change to

CONVERTPATH="/usr/bin/convert"

Finally, to save and exit press [ctrl -x] Y then [enter]. At the prompt type.

cd /usr/local/HotSaNIC
mkdir /var/www/html/HotSaNIC
./rrdgraph start
./makeindex.pl
./diagrams.pl
./convert.pl

You now have HotSaNIC installed

To view HotSaNIC go to http://yourIPaddress/HotSaNICs/

(it will take a few mins for the graphs to generate data.

Now, Lets set HotSaNIC up so it will start when you reboot your server.

pico /etc/rc.local

Add this line:

/usr/local/HotSaNIC/./rrdgraph start

Then [ctrl -x] Y then [enter] to save

All Done!

Thanks a lot!

This is very nice, was so simple to install. Had to change a little bit to install on RH9

thought it would be well liked thanks for trying it.

hotsonic is awesome!

hotsanic even

After I installed it and point to http://ipaddress/HotSaNICs/

Nothing happened? why?

Thanks

I found the problem from my hosting company.

If you choose the webdir /var/www/html/HotSaNIC

For me /var/www/html/HotSaNIC ( /usr/local/HotSaNIC ) does't equal to http://ipaddress/HotSaNIC

copied to /usr/local/apache/htdocs/HotSaNIC

works!


sean

glad to hear it sean iv heard many good things from this thread.
says it really shows lots of stats and its more then they could of wanted its really a good program and nothing ever breaks once its running.
here is one of mine with just a few modules.

Hi webmazter,

it is good program,


BTW, what is the best way of uninstalling this script since i want to install again by myself?

just delete the whole folder? or something i need to do


Thanks

sean

/usr/local/HotSaNIC/./rrdgraph stop
then remove the html and program file folder

This is not showing up at all for me? anyhelp? I did all the install files and such, but when i try the page will not show up :-/

cd /var/www/html/HotSaNIC
ls
do you see files?

sorry I was looking at the wrong ip :-p got it :-D

ok maybe this is always like this, but seems to be eating alot of cpu resources.... Here is what i have under CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage in WHM


User %CPU %MEM Mysql Processes

root 9.32 6.16 2.0
Top Process %CPU 58.0 perl ./diagrams.pl
Top Process %CPU 36.7 gzip
Top Process %CPU 12.9 gzip

So looks like perl ./diagrams.pl is taking up 58%

So is this like this for everyone? how do i fix this?

Thanks

I RECOMMEND FOR THOSE THAT IT DOESNT WORK AT THIS WEBDIR, NOT TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON ABOVE INSTALLATION !!!

JUST RUN THIS AFTER ALL ABOVE SETUP:

ln -s /var/www/html/HotSaNIC stats

AND THEN YOU WILL ACCESS THE STATS AS:

HTTP://IP-ADDRESS/stats/

that's all folks !!!

Good walkthrough...I've been looking for something like this!

1,034 views so far, looks like this tut is popular thanks guys i really enjoy the responses

I RECOMMEND FOR THOSE THAT IT DOESNT WORK AT THIS WEBDIR, NOT TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON ABOVE INSTALLATION !!!

JUST RUN THIS* AFTER ALL ABOVE SETUP:

ln -s /var/www/html/HotSaNIC stats

*
(command should be run in the default webdir of apache...
***this should be: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/
in most default cpanel installations...)

AND THEN YOU WILL ACCESS THE STATS AS:

HTTP://IP-ADDRESS/stats/

that's all folks !!!

Sorry for double posting...
edit is not allowed!

This didnt worked in CentOS 3.3 / CPanel...

Can you plz tell me what changes do apply for CentOS ???

Read the post above yours here by "hookgr"

i mean the installation just failed...

i mean everything accomplished, but some images are broken !!!

what should i do ???

how i do remove everything done in this tutor. and start over ???


why some images are broken ?

rerun the execute commands again at the end of the tutorial they will become complete images.
./rrdgraph start
./makeindex.pl
./diagrams.pl
./convert.pl


Just remove the hotsanic dir and its removed.

i did it more than 3 times...

no way to work,,,

any success froma CentOS user ???

i have 2 centos no problems at all.

why the images are corrupt to me ?

because you didnt rerun the last steps again.

also,if someone changes hardware, for example,he adds hdd, how he renews the hotsanic ???

rerun setup.pl
and the final steps

i did as you said, corrupt images got fixed,

also,i have now hdb, and the 3 hda parts i had, now are 2...

i rerunned ./setup.pl, and then last 4 final steps again,
but disks dont seem up to get fixed !!!

i see the old 3 parts of hda, the third that doesnt exist is just shown as total green, and no of hdb...

also,i had 10 ip for eth traffic monitoring...

now i have 14...

the next 4 ips/eth's didnt got included after rerun ....

what to do ???

?????????????????????????????????????????????????

error: Failed dependencies:
libMagick.so.5 is needed by ImageMagick-perl-5.5.7-10


I get that when I do the first command.

thats been happening alot.
ive redone one system without the perl rpm and it works without it.
you can goto the next step

yourmail
only eth:0 gets graphed on servers with one nic card.
i am unsure about harddrives i dont use that myself.

not sure who you were referencing to, but I tried to go onto step 2 after downloading the wget stuff and nothing. Would there be a reason I am getting that error?

you should skip the ImageMagick-perl-5.5.7-10
install the others.
some will give errors just redo them after u get the rest to fit.

http://67.18.207.42/stats/

can not get my images to show. What issues woulc cause this? I did what you said and did the last steps in the process and nothing still. Guessing I did something some where

email me your config file var/settings/main
send this file to webmazter@gmail.com
i will check it for you.

that is all the files I have in that area. I think I am missing pictures or something, but I just have red x's.

thats what i assumed.
i see your paths are changed from your url.
you should check those over with what your main file is configured for.

ok sorry you confused me there? what should I do? (I apologize if I am not getting this)

easiest way is email your main file and ill check it for you.

web can you tell me how to do this?

I am eager to do this, just dont know how ;)

either your not readin my replys or your avoiding them.
check your paths or email your main file.

no I am asking how can I email you the file? how can I take the file to my desktop in order to email you

I want to email you the file, but I do not know how to take the file from SSH and send it to you. So I am stuck :( again I apologize, I am reading what you are writing.

ill send u a pm

How do I activate what apps I want to show in Hotsanic if I didnt select that app during initial install?

Thanks
Silly

i just tried installing this and everything is working except the images aren't working.

the problem is when running the diagrams.pl, i get errors like this for each module:

----- modules/system -----
Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../../lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at ./diagrams.pl line 9.

(F) You said to do (or require, or use) a file that couldn't be
found. Perl looks for the file in all the locations mentioned in @INC,
unless the file name included the full path to the file. Perhaps you
need to set the PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT environment variable to say where
the extra library is, or maybe the script needs to add the library name
to @INC. Or maybe you just misspelled the name of the file. See
perlfunc/require and lib.

Uncaught exception from user code:

so obviously it's something with PERL but how do i fix this? im running centos 3.4/cpanel.

sorry never seen that error before.
must be server specific.

skyler.insler - The RRDs.pm file is part of the RRDTool package. If you don't already have it installed, then you will need to download and install it. Their home page is at:

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/

----- modules/system -----
Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC

Looks like you skipped the step just after the ImageMagick install:

Next, we will need to install RRDtool (see very first post)
