- Description:
- RRDBot is an SNMP polling daemon which writes the polled values to an RRD
database. It can poll many different SNMP sources in an efficient manner.
It has no large external dependencies, and its configuration is stored in text
files. It has full support for MIB definition files and using textual MIBs
instead of numerical OIDs.
A nice feature is the querying of SNMP tables without using a specific index.
Indexes of the rows in an SNMP table may change from time to time, and are less
than ideal for long term tracking of a given value. For example RRDBot can
query the traffic on your router based on the 'xl0' interface name.
RRDBot also contains tools to simplify the creation of RRD files, and the
various archives contained in them.

- Before starting the rrdbot daemon for the first time, you need to
perform some necessary steps:
1. Create configuration file(s) of what you wish to monitor, and
and place them in /usr/local/etc/rrdbot
2. Create the RRD files based on the above configuration file(s),
using /usr/local/sbin/rrdbot-create
When creating your rrdbot configuration files which use the "archive"
feature, be sure your archive durations are correct mathematically
when compared to the actual SNMP polling interval. For example,
assuming your SNMP polling interval is 30:
6/minute -- won't work (6*30 = 180 seconds)
2/minute -- will work (2*30 = 60 seconds)
Otherwise you'll receive this kind of warning when using rrdbot-create:
rrdbot-create: my.conf: archive has too many data points for polling interval. ignoring
Once you've followed these steps, you can start the daemon by setting
rrdbot_enable="yes" in rc.conf, and then execute:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/rrdbot start
If you forgot to run rrdbot-create, rrdbotd will start but will silently
fail when trying to write data to the non-existent RRD. So please be
sure to follow the above!

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on

This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

net-mgmt/rrdbot: switch to active fork
Since the original RRDBot project has been abandoned a long time ago,
the proposal is to switching to an active fork https://github.com/REANNZ/rrdbot
that has minor bug fixes and enhancements.
The REANNZ (Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand) is a new
Zealand's National Research and Education Network. They fork net-mgmt/rrdbot
in 2015 and start doing changes and improvements in the existing source code
You can see the git history in the github repo[1] (159 commits), but I also kept
a full diff between the previous official version and the new repo version [2].
[1] https://github.com/REANNZ/rrdbot/commits/master
[2] https://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigo/rrdbot-0.9.7_switch_orig.diff
The new repo doesn't provide official release numbers, so we kept the latest
version
number completed by the packaging date in the dYYYYMMDD format.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other. |

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops. |
