Install Smokeping On Centos 7
fping is a small command line tool to send ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo request to network hosts, similar to ping, but much higher performing when pinging multiple hosts. fping totally differs from ping in that you can define any number of hosts on the command line or specify a file with the list of IP addresses or hosts to ping.

Install Smokeping On Ubuntu
I'm trying to install smokeping-2.6.9 on a Centos 7 machine. I've installed most of the required perl modules but i'm struggling with one (perl-config-grammar). When installing smokeping I receive this message:
checking checking for perl module 'RRDs' .. Ok
checking checking for perl module 'FCGI' .. Ok
checking checking for perl module 'CGI' .. Ok
checking checking for perl module 'CGI::Fast' .. Ok
checking checking for perl module 'Config::Grammar' .. Failed
checking checking for perl module 'Digest::HMAC_MD5' .. Ok
checking checking for perl module 'LWP' .. Ok
** Aborting Configure***************************
If you know where perl can find the missing modules, set
the PERL5LIB environment variable accordingly.
FIRST though, make sure that 'perl' starts the perl
binary you want to use for SmokePing.
Now you can install local copies of the missing modules
by running
./setup/build-perl-modules.sh /opt/smokeping/thirdparty
The RRDs perl module is part of RRDtool. Either use the rrdtool
package provided by your OS or install rrdtool from source.
If you install from source, the RRDs module is located
PREFIX/lib/perl
This machine is not connected to the internet so I've installed the other perl modules from a local repository. I've googled this a bit but can't find any useful information. Quite new to Centos (and smokeping) so any help will be appreciated.
