Smokeping in rocky linux with librenms

Rocky Linux General
1

I’m trying to setup smokeping with librenms, when I try to do

sudo systemctl enable --now smokeping
Failed to enable unit: Unit file smokeping.service does not exist.

I’m not able to run smokeping service or having issue restart services or seeing what service is being run.

I’m not a linux expert, but I have done this before with other operating systems.

Hi,

Is this for RockyLinux 8.7 or 9.1?

If its it 8.7 have you installed the epel repo and enabled the powertools repo?

If its 9.1, doesn’t look like its available yet. Either file a bug report with on the EPEL bugzilla, requesting it or you could try building with mock from fedora src rpm.

Regards Tom.

Hi,

Working fine here:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now smokeping
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/smokeping.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/smokeping.service.
$ sudo systemctl status smokeping

Can you please confirm smokeping is installed with dnf (sudo dnf install smokeping)?
