WEBMINSTATS REQUIREMENTS

operating systems

Webminstats is a module for webmin, and can, as this, work on any Unix system, in theory ... :)

In fact, some modules should work without big changes :

• disk
• filesopen
• internet
• mailq
• process
• users

and some others are very close to Linux kernel (use of /proc interface), so they need "some" work (contributors are welcome) to work on other Unix:

• cpu
• irq
• mem
• network

programs used (dependencies)

core

• rrdtool : this package is used to store data in round-robin files and compute the graphs: you need the core package and the perl interface (RRDs.pm)
• webmin : a powerful admin tool on a web interface
• Perl (/usr/bin/perl) : all the code is now written in Perl, the 5.6.x is needed
• some perl modules : File::Copy, File::Basename, POSIX, Cwd, English, CGI::Carp (in perl-CGI rpm package)
• tar : use gnu tar -z extension before 0.9.2 release
• cron service : is used for data aquisition

modules

• lsof : is needed by the filesopen module
• snort : for snort module
• mysql : for mysql module

remark : webminstats use no more bash, since 0.9.0 release, for portability and performances.

optional but recommended

some perl modules are to be used

• perl-LWP : is used to check for new releases (as rpm package perl-libwww-perl on mandriva, as deb package libwww-perl on ubuntu, ...)
• Time::HiRes : to have a good stopwatch
