From Freeside
Contents
Introduction
Torrus is a network monitoring system (NMS) for discovering and monitoring routers, switches and other network equipment with SNMP. Starting in version 2.3, Freeside includes an integrated/skinned Torrus (like it does RT), providing 95th percentile and straight volume billing.
Prerequisites
aptitude install rrdtool librrds-perl libxml-libxml-perl libberkeleydb-perl libtemplate-perl libproc-daemon-perl \ libnet-snmp-perl libapache-session-perl libjson-perl libdbix-abstract-perl libdbix-sequence-perl
Installation
In the Makefile, set TORRUS_ENABLED = 1
make configure-torrus make deploy
mkdir /srv/torrus/collector_rrd chown -R freeside:freeside /srv/torrus/collector_rrd /usr/local/etc/torrus/discovery /usr/local/etc/torrus/xmlconfig/
Database configuration
In /usr/local/etc/torrus/conf/torrus-siteconfig.pl, edit the following lines if necessary (the installation process does not yet substitute them in from the Makefile)
$Torrus::SQL::connections{'Default'}{'dsn'} =
'DBI:mysql:database=torrus;host=dbhost.example.com';
$Torrus::SQL::connections{'Default'}{'username'} = 'torrus';
$Torrus::SQL::connections{'Default'}{'password'} = 'imiF1oih';
Network discovery
cd /usr/local/etc/torrus/discovery vi routers.txt #space-delimted router ip addresses torrus genddx \ --hostfile=routers.txt \ --domain=example.com \ --community=community_string \ --out=routers.ddx \ --discout=routers.xml torrus devdiscover --in=routers.ddx
chown freeside routers.ddx
torrus compile --tree=main --verbose
torrus bs --global --verbose
#launch data collector /etc/init.d/freeside restart
