8. Web based statistics

+ +

From version 1.50, you can use the freeware software MRTG to produce +really nice graphical statistics on your web site. For an example +try +http://www.gb7mbc.net/mrtg/stats.html.

+ +

The following should help you get it all working.

+ +

First you need to download the latest version of MRTG from +http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/. +You will also need the following files..

+

+

+
+libpng-1.0.14.tar.gz
+zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
+gd-1.8.3.tar.gz
+
+
+

+

Login to your machine as the root user, put all the downloaded files +in /usr/local/src/ (or wherever you prefer) and untar and compile them. +All the information to compile and install these sources come with them. +After compilation and installation, you will find MRTG in /usr/local/mrtg-2.

+ +

Now copy all the files in /usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.22/images/ to +/spider/html/mrtg/

+ +

You now need to make 2 symbolic links like below...

+

+

+
+ln -s /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/bin/mrtg
+ln -s /usr/local/mrtg-2/lib/mrtg2 /usr/lib/mrtg2
+
+
+

+ +

Now login to the cluster with your sysop callsign and run the command +"mrtg all".

+ +

Now you are nearly there! Login as the sysop user and change to the +/spider/html/mrtg/ directory. Now run the command indexmaker as +shown below...

+

+

+
+indexmaker --output stats.html --columns=1 --title "MRTG statistics for GB7DJK" ../../mrtg/mrtg.cfg
+
+
+

+

Changing the callsign for your own cluster callsign of course!

+ +

And finally you need to login as the root user and create one last +symbolic link. Where this points will depend on where your html +documents are kept. For RedHat systems you use...

+

+

+
+ln -s /home/sysop/spider/html/mrtg /home/httpd/html/mrtg
+
+
+

+

and for SuSE systems...

+

+

+
+ln -s /home/sysop/spider/html/mrtg /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/mrtg
+
+
+

+

If you now point your browser to your website as below it should all +be happening!

+

+

+
+http://www.xxx.xxx/mrtg/stats.html
+
+
+

+

Of course, to get the stats to update, you need to add some information +in the spider crontab file as below...

+

+

+
+# Update stats for mrtg on website
+00,05,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * run_cmd('mrtg all')
+
+
+

+

This will update the site every 5 minutes.
