Description
- sme9admin is a graphical monitor, alert raising, and services supervision tool for your SME 9 Server.
- It adds a headline + several subpages to the server-manager.
Installation
yum install smeserver-smeadmin --enablerepo=smecontribs
then go configure your sensors and enjoy the contribution in the manager. I should have migrate all your dbs, only issue is if you mirgate from a SME9 i386, you might need to manually remove them and remigrate them manually ( or leave the contrib start from fresh), see troubleshooting at the end of the page.
Sensor detection
Detect the sensors on your mainboard, (run as root)
/usr/sbin/sensors-detect
For my mainboard, I just hit enter for all questions, which then uses the defaults which can be seen as CAPs. You will need to follow the instructions in order to add the detected sensors in rc.local to have them loaded on reboot.
see lm-sensors wiki and more particularly lm-sensors device
Check installed versions
yum info installed smeserver-sme9admin yum info installed sysstat yum info installed hddtemp yum info installed perl-rrdtool yum info installed rrdtool
Uninstall
yum remove smeserver-sme9admin
Additional information
If you connect to the SMEserver console by Putty ssh-client (or similar) you can copy and paste the commands (very convenient).
Good luck /Per
Known Problems
du -s and CPU
The du -s option allows you to have detailed information on the use of your hard drive. Unfortunately with the high volume of data in recent huge drives and/or with older slower CPUs, you should NOT use this option unless you want to see constant high CPU utilization, as this command will be launched every 5 minutes.
disabling IMAP
Disabling IMAP will fails webmail authentication. As a result, disabling IMAP will only work until new reboot or some event to be trigger. This will also make webmail fails until next reboot.
After reboot disabled IMAP will be set automatically to enabled and access to localhost.
CRITICAL - md0 [U_] has 1 of 2 devices active (active=sda1 failed=none spare=none)
Any sme9 installation will have a raid 1 boot partition. If you want to avoid to see this warning you can do the following:
mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=1 --force
Troubleshoot section
Here some tricks and tips to understand what is occurring if you have problem with sme9admin
- look what sysstat can collect
/usr/lib/sa/sadc 1 2 > sadc.bout sar -A -n DEV -f sadc.bout
- look what sadf has stocked (sadf is a human readable file)
less /var/log/sarXX
XX is a number adapt it.
- look if sensors are working
sensors
sensors need to be activated first
sensors-detect
press 'enter' for all questions and reboot
- look if hddtemp is working
hddtemp /dev/sda
- rdd files
all rdd files are in /var/lib/sme9admin, which are binary files. If you want to look the dump to see what it contains
rrdtool dump /var/lib/sme9admin/sensors.rrd > /tmp/sensors.xml less /tmp/sensors.xml
You have to do it for each file.rrd
- Logs of sme9admin
less /var/log/sme9admin.log
- you get after migration from i386 to x86_64 the error that RRD were created on different architecture, then do on previous server:
cd /var/lib/sme9admin
for f in *.rrd; do rrdtool dump ${f} > ${f%.*}.xml; done
rsync *.xml root@newserver:/var/lib/smeadmin/
then on new server
cd /var/lib/smeadmin/
for f in *.xml; do rrdtool restore -f ${f} ${f%.*}.rrd; done
systemctl restart smeadmind
