Running the container

This docker container supports modifying the rrdtool watermark. If you need to modify, please modify the variable RRDTOOL for what you want, be careful not to use #

Exposed Ports

The following ports are important and used by Cacti

It is recommended to allow at least one of the above ports for access to the monitoring system.

Smokeping Deployment

Now when we have our database running we can deploy Smokeping image with appropriate environmental variables set.

Example:

Environmental Variable smokeping

You can modify the contents of the variable as needed. If there is no modification, set it according to the default value.

Access Smokeping web interface

At present, smoke login has not been added to webpage login verification. This feature will be added later.

Alarm mail settings

Because sendmail and postfix can no longer send mail based on the local server under docker, so use the zmail library under python3 here. If you want to use the mail alert feature. Please follow the steps below:

1. First fill in the accurate email information (including username and password, SMTP server and alarm receiving address) when building docker. Specific zmail usage can refer to

zmail: https://github.com/ZYunH/zmail

2. Modify the /smokeping/etc/targets file. Add the following command to the host or host group that needs to be alerted. alerts = hostdown,hightloss,lossdetect,someloss,rttdetect
