<font size="3"><b>Basic information</b></font><br>
First of all check out CaLStats homepage if there is newer version available:<br>
<a href="http://www.mobilnews.cz/honza/en_prog_linux_calstats.php">http://www.mobilnews.cz/honza/en_prog_linux_calstats.php</a><br>
<br>

Every site stat consist of three to five files. So our testing example will consist of those files:<br>
<a href="#config">test1.config</a> - configuration file<br>
<a href="#comp">test1.comp</a> - list of computers<br>
<a href="#link">test1.link</a> - list of links between computers (optional)<br>
<a href="#legend">test1.legend</a> - legend (optional)<br>
<a href="#state">test1.state</a> - actual state of computers (generated by CaLStats)<br>
<br>

You need to create <i>.config</i> and <i>.comp</i> files for every site stat. You can
place as many sites as you want into data directory. Then just run <i>gen_stats</i> and stats will
be gererated. If you want up to date stats, insert <i>gen_stats</i> into cron daemon (for example every
5-10 minutes).<br>
<br>

<font size="3"><b>Installation</b></font><br>
<br>

<b>These programs must be available in the system:</b> awk, PHP (with GD library)<br>
<ul>
<li>unpack the archive</li>
<li>move calstats directory to /usr/local (or somewhere you want to use it in)</li>
<li>change path, directories and configuration in 'gen_stats'</li>
<li>if you have fping installed change STATS_TYPE from 'ping' to 'fping' (<a href="http://www.fping.com">www.fping.com</a>) for faster stats generation</li>
<li>if you have nmap installed change STATS_TYPE from 'ping' to 'nmap' (<a href="http://www.insecure.org/nmap/">www.insecure.org/nmap/</a>) for faster stats generation</li>
<li>run 'gen_stats' to test the configuration</li>
<li>edit 'data/*' files to match your configuration (sample files are included)</li>
<li>add 'gen_stats' to cron if you want to generate statistics periodically</li>
</ul>

Packet latency information is supported only if you are using <i>ping</i> or <i>fping</i>.<br>

You can leave background_color field blank if you want white background.<br>

<a name="comp">
<font size="3"><b>*.comp files</b></font><br>
computer_name;ip_address;computer_importance(0-5);x_location;y_location;<br>
<br>

You can add those characters before computer name:<br>
<b>!</b> - IP address and packet latency information will not be showed<br>
<b>$</b> - IP address will not be showed<br>
<b>%</b> - packet latency information will not be showed<br>
<br>

If you assign IP address 127.0.0.1 to some computer, it will be showed as passive object
without any availability information.<br>
<br>

You can add comments to data file by placing <b>#</b> in the beginning of the line.<br>
