🌸 SMOKEINFO(1) — the SmokePing one, bestie 🌸

okay so before we even get into it: this is smokeinfo, part of the SmokePing manual fam. She's a little command-line girlie who goes and polls your smokeping site for numeric info. Let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

smokeinfo — poll smokeping site for numeric information 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

smokeinfo path/to/config.cfg [options]

like, config path first, then whatever flags you're feeling 💖

  • --start x — the rrd graph start time, no cap. (default now-24h)
  • --end y — the rrd graph end time. (default now)
  • --filter pattern — the search pattern used when picking which nodes to show 🔍
  • --mode plain (default) — how the pattern gets used, bestie. the vibe options are:
    • plain
    • recursive
    • regexp
  • --separator ; (default) — yep, that's the separator, default is ;
  • --format %le (default) — the output format, default %le ✨
  • --no-head — do not print a header, if the header is giving too much
  • --man — show the man-page and exit 📖
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit 🫶
  • --version — output version information and exit ⭐

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

SmokeInfo is literally just a simple frontend to the Smokeping::Info module. That's it, that's the job. She gives you access to the numeric data stored in the rrd files 🌈

heads up bestie: --start and --end get passed directly to rrd graph. so yeah, they work on the same syntax. no extra spice added, no notes taken 😭

🌸 Examples 🌸

Get all data all nodes:

smokeinfo etc/config

Only show nodes directly under /Customers:

smokeinfo --filter=/Customers/ etc/config

Show all nodes under /Customers:

smokeinfo --mode=recursive --filter=/Customers/ etc/config

Show all nodes with _wlan_ in the name:

smokeinfo --mode=regexp --filter=_wlan_ etc/config

iconic behavior, honestly 👑
