webminstats configuration help

graphic options

rrdtool

full path to rrdtool command

graph_sizex

width in pixels of display graphs

graph_sizey

height in pixels of display graphs

snapshot_dir

directory for snapshots

panorama_period

default period for panorama display. The format is : xP, with x a number, P is H for hours, D for days, W for weeks, M for months. For exemple : 2W ask for 2 weeks

max_display

maximum number of display ( graphs pages for the same module)

icon_by_row

number of icons by row in main page and in footer

icons

show icons menu if true else show only html links

aquisition

max_mod_time

max allowed process time, in second, for a module aquisition. if the module duration is greater than max_mod_time, a warning is sent. value of 0 means no warning

max_time

max allowed process time, in second, for a full aquisition (all modules). if the aquisition duration is greater than max_time, a warning is sent. value of 0 means no warning

alarm_time

max allowed elapsed time, in second, for a module aquisition. if the module duration is greater than alarm_time, the module aquisition is interrupted. value of 0 means illimited duration allowed

max_log_size

max file size, in bytes. Several modules (internet, genfile, dns, ...) are parsing files, and the acquisition becomes very slow if the files become too large. If the size of the scanned file is greater than max_log_size, a warning is sent. value of 0 means no warning.

parallel_mode

in standard aquisition, all modules are run, one after the other. This may be long. the parallel mode try to run all module in parallel, using all processors : aquisition is shorter, but load will be higher. This mode is currently in beta version.

nice

data aquisition is done by cron job, with a default priority (2) lower than interactive process. use nice parameter to adjust the priority :

server

check_update

if set to yes, webminstats will try to connect to it's repository and check for new releases. the information is displayed at end of index page, with links to download new code.

debug_mode

set debug mode to yes for debugging the server part. the output goes to webminstats.log log file

max log lines to display

log files may be very big (and also slow to display). To solve this problem, webminstat will only display the last lines of log file (as a 'tail -n'). This parameter is how many lines to dsiplay.

alarms

mailto

data aquisition is done by a cron job, runned as root, and output is return by mail as a warning. the mailto parameter allow to configure another email adress to send the warnings.

min time beetwen alarms

It is the time (in secondes) between 2 alarm's warnings for a module. It will avoid to fill your email box, and give you time to solve the problem.

min time (s) beetwen 2 actions

It is the time (in secondes) between 2 actions for the same rule. It will avoid to fill your email box, and give you time to solve the problem.
