1. Install SmokePing.

Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install smokeping

Centos

# yum install smokeping

2. Open with a text editor (joe,nano,pico…) the file:

 /opt/observium/config.php

and add the path to the location where rdd files will be created

$config['smokeping']['dir']     = "/var/lib/smokeping/Observium/";

3. Generate smokeping config for all the host in Observium

php /opt/observium/scripts/generate-smokeping.php > /etc/smokeping/config.d/Targets

If you don't have generate-smokeping.php you can download from here:
https://github.com/pgmillon/observium/blob/master/scripts/generate-smokeping.php

On some configurations i get error running the above script and i replace:

foreach (dbFetchRows("SELECT hostname FROM `devices` WHERE `ignore` = 0 AND `disabled` = 0 ORDER BY hostname") as $device){
    echo("++ " . str_replace('.', $config['smokeping']['split_char'], $device['hostname']) . PHP_EOL);
    echo("host = " . $device['hostname'] . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL);
}

with :

while($devices = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
     echo("++ " . str_replace('.', "_", $devices['hostname']) . PHP_EOL);
     echo("host = " . $devices['hostname'] . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL); >
}

4. Restart smokeping

Ubuntu:

sudo /etc/init.d/smokeping restart

Centos

service smokeping restart

If all goes well you'll see a new entry Ping (between Ports and Inventory) in menu in device page.

If you want to see default smokeping page go to http://your_observium/smokeping/smokeping.cgi.
Because this page is not protected you must configure your apache server to allow access from localhost or other ip's or remove smokeping configuration from apache conf.d.
