NAME
       SmokeTrace - Ajax based Traceroute for Smokeping

DESCRIPTION
       SmokeTraceoute is an browser based traceroute application written in
       the Qooxdoo. You can easily activate it in your Smokeping setup, to
       allow users to traceroute smokeping targets directly from the master
       host.

SETUP
       To activate SmokeTrace you have to copy a few files to your webserver.

       1.  Make sure your webserver can execute cgi files outside the cgi-bin
           directory. Maybe it is enough to create a .htaccess file with the
           following contents into the smokeping web directory ($web).

            AddHandler cgi-script cgi
            Options ExecCGI

       2.  Copy "htdocs/script/Tr.js" to your smokeping web directory (NOT the
           cgi-bin directory!).

            mkdir $web/script
            cp $src/htdocs/script/Tr.js $web/script/

       2.  Copy "htdocs/tr.html" to your smokeping web directory (NOT
           cgi-bin). Make sure the path, pointing to "Tr.js" is correct.

            cp $src/htdocs/tr.html $web/

       3.  Copy "htdocs/resource" into the directory where you put "tr.html"

            cp -r $src/htdocs/resource $web/

       4.  Copy htdocs/tr.cgi.dist to the directory where you put "tr.html".
           Change its name to "tr.cgi". Edit "tr.cgi" to adjust the "use lib"
           line, to point to the smokeping perl library directory, as you did
           with "smokeping.cgi" and the smokeping daemon.

            cp $src/htdocs/tr.cgi.dist $web/tr.cgi

       5.  Edit your config file and add the line:

            menuextra = <a target='_blank' href='tr.html{HOST}' class='{CLASS}' \
               onclick="window.open(this.href,this.target, \
               'width=800,height=500,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,scrollbars=no'); \
               return false;">*</a>

           to your "*** Targets ***" section. It will make a "*" appear next
           to each host name, and when you click on it, the SmokeTrace window
           will open.

           Note that the "href" atribut must point to the directory where you
           put the "tr.html" file.

       Not you should be all set. Try calling "tr.cgi" from your webbrowser.
       You should get some error message about not having sent a JSON request.
