INSTALL

   1 Prometheus QoS installation - canonical
   2
   3 1. run "./check-kernel-qos" script to check kernel modules HTB and SFQ (optional)
   4 2. as a root, run "make install" (you shouldn't get errors...)
   5 3. edit /etc/prometheus/prometheus.conf (conf/prometheus.conf or sample-configuration/)
   6 4. edit /etc/prometheus/hosts (conf/prometheus.hosts or sample-configuration/)
   7 5. edit /etc/cron.d/prometheus to update preview, shutdown and reload times
   8 6. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus start" to activate QoS
   9 7. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus stop" to shutdown QoS and generate stats
  10 8. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus kill" to force immediate flush of QoS rules
  11 9. setup /etc/init.d/prometheus to your system init (distribution dependent)
  12
  13 Prometheus QoS installation - alternative, old way
  14
  15 1. if can read read this, you have already unpacked the .tar.gz archive
  16 2. run "make prometheus" (you shouldn't get errors...)
  17 3. create /etc/prometheus/prometheus.conf (conf/prometheus.conf or sample-configuration/)
  18 4. create /etc/prometheus/hosts (conf/prometheus.hosts or sample-configuration/)
  19 5. to activate QoS manualy from command line, just run "./prometheus"
  20 6. to softly shutdown QoS (and generate stats), run "./prometheus -f" ("flush")
  21 7. to force immediate flush of QoS rules, run "./prometheus -9" ("kill")

  23 Promethetus QoS advanced tips:
  24
  25 1. use -p command line switch to generate instant and safe Hall of fame preview
  26 2. use qos-free-delay option for pause after flushing old rules/before loading new
  27 3. take time to understand sample-configuration/ files prometheus.conf and hosts
  28 4. note: qos-proxy-enable and qos-free-zone won't work together
  29 5. warning: doing SNAT and QoS on the same router may cause performance problems

  31 General Linux routing tips for beginners:
  32
  33 echo -n 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  34 echo -n 64000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
  35 echo -n 86400 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established

  37 Prometheus Debian packages:
  38
  39 There are two ways to build Prometheus Debian package (*.deb)
  40
  41 1. as a root access and debhelper package installed, run "make deb"
  42 2. without root access or debhelper, run "./prometheus.debian-noroot-nodebhelper"
